Hi erivers, I've just spoken to Chris Howes (who is now in a meeting) - He says that he believes the MLC are waiting to receive approval from the (probably currently pre-occupied) Government for the Bylaws. New amenities are under active current discussion but no contributory income has been received yet. The intent is to first provide amenities at Stanground and Salters Lode. Although there are current PCC and EA amenities past these locks, these are not always available because of river conditions. MLC are doing their very best to enhance boating on their waters. He adds that he personally applauds their endeavours. My view is that knocking them isn't helpful and isn't going to make anything happen any more quickly.
