Jericho Wharf Trust

Organization to develop canalside

Posted - November 07, 2012

The Jericho Wharf Trust (JWT) has been formed by four organizations: St Barnabas Church, the Jericho Community Boatyard, the Jericho Community Association, and the Jericho Living Heritage Trust. The JWT aims to develop the canalside site to create a ‘New Heart in Jericho’. The JWT envisages an imaginative development, based on a spirit of community activism and responsibility, that will reflect Jericho’s canalside heritage and include a community centre, a boatyard and a vibrant public square.

The Trust has been negotiating with the administrators of the vacant site and has embarked on fundraising. At the same time it has been helping to support the City’s agreed policies for the site.

The Trust has also been working with the Jericho Community Boatyard to highlight the importance of canalboats as affordable housing. This has included carrying out a survey of the boaters’ opinions and needs. More information at www.jerichowharf.com.
