I know as a FACT, THERES BEEN NO DREDGING AT ALL EVER SINCE WEVE BEEN HERE

ROB Smith, use to be somthing to do with the canal group, in Milton Keynes.

boaters will know the vegetation is very very bad in places, with this and the depth situation 

opposite us, boats have problems getting close to, or have problem getting off.

what I can say categorically confirm, is No dredging has be done here from 2009, before that

ive been told by other Moorers here, that no dredging has been done for years before. 

I dont disagree with you about how shallow it is outside Willowbridge but wasnt the bendy section just before Pear Tree dredged a few years ago- they put all the dredgings behind the wooden poles/fabric on the offside Bank as seems to be popular now.

That was abandoned as well die to fish dying

I'm surprised they didn't use the stun boat to remove the fish first.

 

Anyway, did the stun boat manage to remove all of the Zander? 🙄

Avoids issues over transporting waste to a separate site. And costs

Yep. Seems to be a fair compromise- lose some width which was probably overgrown and not there in the first place and gain some depth.

Seem to recall a post on here about that dredging at that spot too.

Have been known to totally misremember though..

They used the stun boat just a couple of months back, there.
