Emails: Not correct

Published: Tuesday, 18 December 2012

Boaters are responding to the article by Canal & River Trust Trustee, John Dodwell, including one who disputes one of his assertions.

A very long article, and a spirited defence of Cart & River Trust's well-paid senior management, not all of whom apparently confine their working hours to 9 to 5. However, I must dispute one of his assertions.

According to John, 'the Trust is informally discussing [Bulbourne Yard's] future with ... Dunstable Boat Club (sic) ... and others'. This came as news to myself and the other members of the Dunstable & District Boat Club committee! No discussions of any sort have taken place or even been suggested.
