Accept what you say Sue about Anderton & Standedge, even if the precedent (which I am not sure BW would not like to set)*has* now been set with Llangollen. Regards
Steve Goodsell My understanding was that charges were dropped at Anderton and other 'honeypot' sites because boat movements are necessary to attract other day visitors. I'm not entirely sure that this has been successful in the case of Standedge - I was struck by how low boat numbers were on the Huddersfield and I suspect reports of damage discourage many from going through the tunnel (it is fascinating but I would not want to take my own boat through). I can see that BW might reason that, where there are more than enough boats to attract towpath visitors, they can get some extra money in by congestion charging (this is not to say that I agree with this policy!).
