This is a petition to stop the ban of jet skis on the river Tweed in Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland. As you may be aware of a current petition to enforce a bylaw prohibiting Jet-Skis from the river. This is due to people complaining about endangering the wildlife, as most jet skiers like my self will know that if you come across a swan etc u would slow down and keep a safe distance. The are other users to the tweed estuary such as speedboats and also canoes and rowing boats but nothing is said about these users. There arent many places in Northumberland you can launch a jet ski from. So in peoples interest who use the river may want to sign the petition to support the stop to a ban of the use of skis on the river, as many people will know jet skis an other motorized craft have been using the river for years and this would spoil it for future generations!!!

I am honestly stunned by how many of you stepped up to back this cause. It belongs to all of you who care about our river and this really shows how much we value our time on the water.

Ridiculous to ban just one type of boat. Speedboats are on there all the time and nobody says anything about them. Leave us alone.

Keep the river open. We have been using it for years and never had a problem. Seems like some people just want to moan about anything.

I always respect the swans and wildlife when I am out on my ski. Educate the idiots dont ban the responsible riders.

My family loves spending time on the river and it would be a shame to lose that spot.
