The boats are now ready to launch back into action helping us look after the Oxford Canal, so it can be enjoyed by the hundreds of people who use it each week.
The two dedicated volunteers are Brian and Jenny Saunders from the Banbury Canal Partnership. Both Brian and Jenny spent three weeks repainting the boats a vibrant blue and yellow - the traditional colours for the Trust's workboats.
The boats will be used by the volunteers from the Banbury Canal Partnership who help clean up litter, remove graffiti, cut back trees and bushes along the canal and create new habitats for wildlife along the canal. The boats will provide a warm, dry place for those who work from them, as well as enabling them to reach parts of the waterways that they can't currently access from the towpath.
