    I know they really are boring stories.

    These 'proposals' crop up every so often but nothing ever happens and it won't in this case.

    I bet Kier are not really 'delighted' to have only half of what they had previously.

    It certainly came across as a complaint. Grants can be available if buildings are listed for example, but many are not and in all cases they only top up what are very expensive and risky projects. A large number of BW/CRT owned heritage buildings have, since the 1970s, been restored and brought back to use by disposing of them to individuals and organisations who brought their own capital and expertise and successfully restored them.

    Surely you should support the selling off of heritage buildings. If you say they don't repair the waterway itself then they are unlikely to look after adjacent heritage buildings.

    Parry mentioned towpaths quite a lot..........

    Of course I do and I know they never checked for them.

    No they didn't they just sold one to anyone daft enough to buy one.

    Just think for a minute how they would police it.

    According to CRT's website all their licenced hire boat operators should be complying with this HBC V2 Final.pdf

    I think you'll find his given name is Adam.

    They are not Crime & Police Commissioners though are they? And neither of course is Boris Johnson.

    I was answering this question by giving the most recent example. I am aware there are plenty more. Most seem to be Tories. Funny that.
  21. Orwellian
    I reckon it was this one.

    They don't get anywhere near paying for maintaining navigation so all boaters are in fact being subsidised. The canals are there for everyone to enjoy and some form of public funding is reasonable and necessary.

    Ah simple as that eh? Perhaps you should apply for the Chairman's job? In any case you have completely misunderstood Arthur Marshall's point.
  24. Orwellian
    What are you talking about? Explain how they would 'take on the role of a housing authority'
  25. Orwellian
    Yes is a perfectly valid answer to your last question. Visitors went expecting peace & quiet but were confronted with crowds of people who couldn't go to work, the pub or indoor leisure during the various 'lockdowns'. This would suggest numbers for 2021/22 should be well down on the two previous years. Let's wait & see.
