No Confidence in C&RT

Its time for a long overdue change and to protect our waterways from the parasites that are stripping its assets.

I wonder if their aim is fill the canals in tarmac it and make a velodrome We got to stop that.

Not fit for purpose.

Let's go back to BWB 1980s style

I am sick of ringing in to report non licence payers we pay nearly £1000 a year for the privelege of mooring with the non payers that c&rt do nothing about

Nobody is moving. You don't know if you are going to get back, poor state. Really gone down hill in last two years

the top managers acidness is pure poison to the waterways

CRT repeatedly increase my licence and ooring fees but are unable to enforce action against those who don't contribute. They don't monitor the waterways or facilities, nor adequately repair problems. They don't monitor their work staff who often spend hours drinking coffee because they don't have a job ticket - the usual response is " it's not my responsibility". Time for change is nigh.

I've only been boating two years but even I can see how bad it has got since I started, so many broken locks and so many canals need dredging and so much moor.....

Keep up the good work!

Thay are not fit for purpose

I’ve spoken to many boaters over the system in my travels and they ALL say that things are going from bad to worse and it’s s bloody disgrace what’s happening. !!!!! Very very poor management from people who do not boat the waterways.

Ever since crt took over the canals they have blatantly ignored boaters group s who's members have offered to help. And the waste of time and money is scandalous.

I have to live with crt calling all the shots being living hear 6 years and been through he’ll hear with anti social behaviour we are all subject to council tax but crt want another £1000 ish of every boat because of a network access agreement that they have said was signed but they have failed to produce it in a timely matter and still not seen it so they can whistle we all pay council tax and I don’t agree on crt paying business tax that is peanuts and gives us no rights to be hear

They ought to hang their heads in shame. Yet another breach on the canal system thats 5 or 6 so far this year. When preventative work actually took place we would have 1 every couple of years. Soon we won’t be able to travel anywhere due to breaches. Norbury junction (shelmore embankment) will go soon. They would rather spend money on on grand days out for the top brass and wasting money hand over fist. For gods sake CRT go now and don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out

Spend money on maintaining canals rather than million pound nature reserves and please stop encouraging cyclist who are ignorant to everyone else

Appalled at the way CRT waste money especially on this awlful new logo Also they are taking away more and more of our facilities

CRT appealed for donations towards the breach at middlewich so I donated £25 Two days later they announced the rebranding. I’ve been taken for a mug. It needs to be established how much charity money was wasted on this abysmal waste of cash. How much is being spent on new stationery plus the wasted old stuff. Clothing new and old, signage and logos on vans etc

Cart are doing what bw was set up to Bo close the waterways

There is scant oversight and no independent ombudsman dealing with CRT. It has become a nice earner for myriad overpaid managers with vague job titles, while staff on the ground are being replaced by volunteers. The Government needs to investigate CRT while they are still in receipt of taxpayers money.
