There needs to be a conversation about whether Britain's canal network needs to come back into government hands; this appears to be the direction of travel for the #NationalCycleNetwork so why should canals which are a massive recreation resource be different? #BritishWaterways
Went for a wander along the Peak Forest Canal today. The CRT had a fundraising stall at the top of Marple Locks as they seek to make good the funding shortfall bequeathed by the previous government.

As with so much, the problem seems to be a lack of funding, but again farming out of national infrastructure to a third party body removes electoral accountability etc.
Given the slow rise of #SlowTravel whether that's along the water or along the towpath, this needs another look #BritishWaterways

Read the thread and the article to the end. The UK's dirty and frankly, terrifying, secret. No wonder we all have "food intolerance" issues and feel ill. 🤔☠️

Sad news hearing that Prunella Scales has passed away. ❤️
It’d be wonderful if the Canal & River Trust named two sister boats Timothy West and Prunella Scales — a perfect way to honour a couple who brought Britain’s canals to life for so many of us. 🚤🇬🇧 #PrunellaScales #TimothyWest #BritishWaterways
