The project will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Milton Keynes Iron Trunk Aqueduct. The aqueduct will be drained, cleaned and repainted, and vegetation will be removed. The community will record the history of the aqueduct and use it as an educational resource for school activities and offer guided walks.
