(MP FOR LEEDS EAST).
That was all in the summer 1993. But over nearly 25 years Mary
and I have travelled 95% of the system. The Scottish chunk we havent cruised,
but we have toured by car. So today we see a canal system that is
much more expensive and very regulated.
Boating for some even inspires bouts of canal rage.
BW is empire building and thinks it is operating its own private monopoly
linear-water-theme-park with boaters
expected to fund their extravagancies. Meanwhile BW introduces more rules,
more regulation, more restrictions and more costs. On balanced we boaters
are seriously short changed by BW and unless we pull together
and confront BW we can expect to see an ever more expensive
exclusive canal system.
LATEST FIGHT WITH BRITISH WATERWAYS
So be sure you join NABO ( I am no longer your North West rep)
or RBOA (Mary is no longer your North West rep) and add your weight to
campaigns for less costs, less regulation and a fairer deal for boaters.
