Paul founded the Derby & Sandiacre Canal Trust & Society in 1993 (and is still a director of the Trust) - the scheme is successfully progressing the restoration of the former Derby Canal to full navigation to create a 12 mile linear park through the City of Derby and generate many 1,000's of temporary and permanent jobs; outline planning permission for the full scheme was obtained in late 2011. Paul was founder President of Long Eaton Dawnbreakers Rotary, a "dual gender" (i.e. mixed!) club which meets weekly at 7.00am at Cafe Zing in Long Eaton.
