Phase Two Public Consultation Events

Phase Two Public Consultation for the Grand Union Canal Transfer (GUCT) will formally launch on Wednesday 11 February, and will run for seven weeks until 23:59pm on Thursday 2 April 2026.

In this consultation, we’re presenting proposals for the scheme that have been updated since our Phase One Public Consultation which took place in Autumn 2024. The Phase Two Public Consultation will provide local communities, residents and businesses an opportunity to learn how the scheme has developed, as well as a chance to offer their thoughts, opinions and input to support the next stage of decision-making.

During the consultation period, we’ll be hosting a series of in-person public information events where you can find out more about the scheme and talk to members of our dedicated team of technical and engagement experts.

We’re also hosting an online event, which will include a presentation by the team, summarising the proposals, the consultation process and how to respond. Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss the proposals. The online event will take place on Tuesday 24 March, 6pm-7:30pm.
