THE  Inland Waterways Association has stated that the funding for the new waterways charity does not appear to stack up.

BOATING restrictions have already started through lack of water on the Rochdale Canal, with Tuel Hill Lock usage cut to just one lock operation per day.

JAMES Clifton finished his epic cycle ride from  Land's End to O'Groats—all 1,001 miles of it—in 15 days,  raising money for sick children.

IT IS over six months since narrowboatworld commented on the Inland Waterways Association's  condemnation of British Waterways' 'fat cats', writes Allan Richards.

A SENIOR barrister has confirmed that the statement by British Waterways concerning the Kennet & Avon Canal mooring case is wrong both factually and in law as county court judgements do not create a precedent.

Just come back from cruising the Birmingham Canal Navigations since our last visit four years ago, writes  boater Charles Hanson, and asks—just what is going on?

DURING the same week the ill conceived British Waterways pub partnership went into administration, one of its directors remarked 'we collectively need to do some high quality thinking'.

AT THE start of this boating season ten happy people set out onto the Shropshire Union Canal in what was, as far as any of them could tell, a brand new hire boat that they had managed to hire at a remarkably good price.

IN AN amazing admission, Defra have confirmed that it does not know how much it costs to maintain British Waterways' canals and rivers!

EVEN though the actual trustees or the proposed charity is not in place, it has been decided that the current name of British Waterways will not suffice.

BRITISH Waterways' beleaguered pub partnership is now in administration, with Lloyds Banking Group appointing Price Waterhouse Coopers as administrators to the Waterside Pub Partnership.

BRITISH Waterways is not the only company buying up marinas, as the company Lakeland Leisure is also snapping them up.
