Message from the Canal and River Trust

As the Government has announced that in England from Thursday 5 November, non-essential travel should be avoided and overnight stays limited to work purposes only, the CRT is advising boat licence holders to restrict their movement and not to stay overnight on their boats unless it is their primary residence from Thursday. Boat licence terms and conditions regarding movement every 14 days will be suspended for the 4-week period from Thursday until 2 December when these restrictions are due to come to an end.

Plastics Challenge

Message from the Canal and River Trust - If every time we visited our local canal or river we picked up and disposed of just one piece of plastic, the water and towpaths would be clear within a year. It doesn’t take much but we can all make a difference. 

Pledge your support for #PlasticsChallenge and encourage your friends and family to join in too
