Recent NRW forestry felling and other changes at Goytre Wharf have prompted the formation of a new group with a Facebook presence at https://www.facebook.com/Friends-of-Goytre-Wharf-797285523802981/.

Meanwhile Torfaen and Caerphilly councils have European, Welsh Government, Canal and River Trust and their own funds for £4.6m plans for an Adventure Triangle to develop recreation and leisure activities on their sections of the canal connected by upland walking and cycling links.
