PLANS to build a new marina in Wrenbury could provide a boost for both tourism and employment.

Proposals have been submitted to Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council for a 56,600sq m marina by the Shropshire Union Canal at Wrenbury Heath.

Included in the plans are a total of 217 berths for boats, parking for 100 cars, a turning basin, repair facilities, a café and a new footbridge across the canal.
