Residents of a Shropshire town are being asked to share views on whether a 42-foot long barge should have a permanent place on its canal.
A narrowboat took to the water of Newport Canal in May, having been loaned to the town council as part of efforts to remind people of the area's history and to be admired by visitors, showing off green open space to be enjoyed by residents.
Newport town councillor Tim Nelson said:"The barge was only ever brought here as a loan for the summer. "We are running a survey to see if people want it there more permanently. It would be great for people to make their views known.""The response anecdotally and on social media seems to have been universally very favourable.
Mr Nelson has previously spoken of plans for a restaurant boat in Newport to 'further boost the town's cafe culture'.
