Our Vision is that:
The Colne Catchment is a place where people are working together to protect and improve the water environment for everyone.
Water is clean, plentiful and, sensitively managed, meeting the needs of all those that rely on its resource but enabling it to reach its full biological potential, supporting rich and diverse populations of fish, birds and other wildlife. The Catchment is a healthy, economically vibrant environment, creating a natural and attractive amenity for people to enjoy and improving social wellbeing for present and future generations.
