No, you’re absolutely right, however in some rare cases, ‘leisure boaters’ become shall we say, ‘a little confused’. Personally, I prefer the narrow canals, please don’t get me started on ‘wider boats’, especially those that get stuck under 240 year old infrastructure.

Excellent question and while you are correct, boat safety being a condition of insurance, unfortunately there are many falling through the net and a number of boats abandoned for one reason or another. There is a number of boats cruising regularly along a section of the Trent and Mersey Canal who pay nothing, nothing at all, one of which ( I’m told ) recently gave way to osmosis.

I completely get frustrations on this subject and trust me, I am the first to speak up. Sadly, we are in a world post ‘virus of unspecified origin’ and people who don’t pay play the human rights card. Even more frustrating is the length of time through prosecution the process to remove boaters that don’t pay their way can go on for years. There was a boat on the Coventry near Nuneaton that was being used for all sorts of behaviour… after it was left abandoned, it sunk and almost 2 years later it’s still there awaiting final disposition. I understand that a salvage company is in the process of towing it away … can you imagine the logistics of that.

Do you remember when they used to dredge canals, rivers drainage ditches and build reservoirs some 50 years ago. All that has stopped and we wonder why places get now get flooded. The last reservoir to be built in the uk was 34 years ago, yet its population has doubled in the same period. A lot of areas now get flooded due to little or no maintenance e.g. the somerset levels, parts of norfolk, northamptonshire and cambridgeshire, but to name a few were built on flood plains with redundancy pump systems, all recent flooding has been down to poor maintenance of these areas. Similarly roads, road drainage ditches and road drainage systems are not maintained leading to severe road flooding. The maintenance systems are so bad in the above areas that insurance companies refuse property insurance. Incredible as both insurance companies and local authorities take our money year on year but neither do anything to prevent these disasters.

onAmazing info, thanks for the link. A colleague of mine lives in Northamptonshire and thousands of new houses are being built with the majority of these houses plumbed into the existing sewers and run off into local rivers that already flooded before the new developments were initiated but no attempts were made to dredge the rivers, improve storage lakes or sewers. Just a case of doing the bare minimum and running off with the profits. It was interesting to hear that authorities suggest natural solutions like run off ponds, they did that in Huntington, then approved housebuilding on the floodplain. A few years later the authorities said they were shocked when hundreds of houses were flooded blaming global warming and residents having block paved driveways. They didn't mention these block paved drives were in the original building plans they approved. I think they think we are not informed of their antics and profiteering. As soon as an authority talks about natural methods you know they are doing the job on the cheap to maximise profits, Wildlife gardens = save money on parks and gardens. Natural solutions = on the cheap. Environmental issues = blame the consumer. Wildlife hedrows = excuse not to cut road verges, after all its easier and more profitable to procecute motorists who can't see road signs buried in the bushes (this reminds me of Arthur Dent who didn't read the sign warning of the earths destruction that was on public display at the end of the universe, in a cellar with no light) Call me crazy but the country has gone to pot.

In the boating community we are grateful for the systems in place to protect us. The subcontractors working on behalf of Canal and River Trust and CRT themselves are working diligently to maintain our livelihoods. THANK YOU 🙏🏼 CRT.

Not necessary, but massively appreciated… I only watch the documentary channels and find yours a nice contrast to ‘Court Above the Cut’. Thanks for commenting 🙏🏼
