	COATE'S CUTTINGS - CHELMER CANAL TRUST NEWSLETTER ISSUE 17, September 2001
		In 1968 help eventually arrived in the form of "The River Stour Trust" whose aims, similar to the Chelmer Canal Trust's, were to cherish, restore and promote the navigation in the public interest.
		The River Stour Trust's restoration efforts were constrained by the Anglian Water Authority who became the navigating authority for the navigation in 1976.
		Moreover the Trust's worthy efforts to reopen the navigation are not seen to be a good thing by everyone, especially those who fear that the arrival of motorised boats and people will affect their rural tranquillity.
