NOTWITHSTANDING the complaints about lack of moorings on the Severn, Canal & River Trust have now banned boaters from using the moorings at Upton-on-Severn—the only safe haven between Worcester and Gloucester.

THE Canal & River Trust (CaRT) report on the South East Visitor Consultation suggests that they were taken aback by the hostility with which many boaters responded, writes Allan Richards.

THE article in narrowboatworld (Cart emergency service) concerning the man who fell into the Chesterfield Canal and caused  a furore about the emergency telephone number, has created more questions, to which its original author, Mick Fitzgibbons explains:

So 'nobody in CaRT received a single complaint during 2011 or 2012 regarding difficulty in finding a mooring'? Asks Kevin McNiff.

THE narrowboat Samshiba that was stolen from its moorings at Kegworth on the Soar has been found, repainted and with other alterations—on the Fossdyke.

WITHIN hours of Canal & River Trust (CaRT) publishing a report following its South East Visitor Moorings Consultation, (Mooring consultation report) one of its authors has been brought to book on a Facebook site, writes Allan Richards.

CANAL & River Trust has today (Friday) published its final report on the public consultation on visitor moorings in the South East.

FOLLOWING its failure to recruit 7,000 'friends' in its first year by using a professional agency, Canal & River Trust (CaRT) is now resorting to recruiting its chuggers itself in the London area, writes Allan Richards.

THE appointment of John Parry as Chief Executive of Canal & River Trust (CaRT) once again raises the controversial issue of directors remuneration within the Trust, writes Allan Richards.

IT HAS been announced today (Friday) that Canal & River Trust has appointed a new chief executive.

THE breach at Dutton on the Trent & Mersey Canal is now fully repaired, re-watered and tested, and will be re-opened today, Thursday.
