		Consequently the transportation needs of the town increased and in 1703 and 1747 bills were presented to make the River Salwarpe navigable but these foundered.
		Pressure for good transportation increased when in 1727 deep borings were made to expose stronger flows of brine, and salt output soared.
		It was not until 1767 that the Droitwich Council appointed famous canal engineer James Brindley to survey a route for a Canal to link Droitwich with the River Severn that a solution was found, and in 1768, the Droitwich Barge Canal Act was passed and construction commenced.
