I disagree Nigel. I've done a number of interviews recently
since the launch of SOW (and I expect more soon) and I am
surprised that someone hasn't asked 'If Defra/Brown refuse
to reverse the cuts what is the alternative?.' I think that
a wide ranging debate about a National Waterways Trust could
well offer Govt a way out.
