The government has officially confirmed a formal review of the Canal and River Trust performance following our petition. This oversight process is now active and we will monitor the proceedings to ensure they address the maintenance failures we highlighted.
Canal & River Trust should be referred
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for water, and subjected a review of their performance as the condition of the countries waterways continues in sharp decline
The petition reached 500 signatures today. I am drafting a formal letter to the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Water to initiate a review of the Trust performance.

Its disgraceful and high time people are made aware. Fees are paid and facilities,locks and rivers have been untouched, unloved for years. High time money was spent on locks, shower, toilet facilities and update moorings with electric, water hook ups.

Recently returned to the canals. I am utterly shocked by how much they have deteriorated over the past 6 years. The obvious neglect by CANAL and River Trust is criminal. Please please bring them to account for their actions, or lack of them!

Despite a winter stoppage program there are major lock failures stopping navigation for boats on the Grand Union South within sixteen miles of each other. Also, pump not working so major water shortages causing navigation restrictions.

As a boater trying to move around the system, the amount of stoppages - at very short notice (such as water management issues ) that really should have been spotted before things got too bad, is scary ... the water management team is clearly incompetent

Sadly CRT show little ability to maximise funding from ALL towpath/canal users. There should be a kind of “forever tax” that developers who buy and build on CRT land pay for upkeep of the canal, locks, bridges, towpath, canal walls, etc; councils need to pay/raise money for the part of the canal that go Rd through their ward/borough.

CRT are laxy with keeping our waterways safe. Yorkshire Magneteers are willing to assist with removing dangerous items free of charge no liability to CRT we have our own insurance, but they have refused.
