This petition is in support of the installation of Kayak Portage along the River Great Ouse in the Grange Estate, Willington. This stretch of river is regularly used by Canoeists. The project will contribute towards the long term goal of establishing a canoe touring network in the area and will encourage more people to participate in the sport. By signing this petition you will be helping a bid for funding from Sport England in order to proceed with the project. Many thanks

About time! This would make the river so much more accessible for all of us.

So much better than dragging gear across the mud and bank. Yes please.

Too many obstacles on this stretch. A portage point is badly needed for everyone paddling through here.

Great idea. My kids love kayaking but getting in and out at that spot is a nightmare.
