Further investigation reveals that BW have washed their hands of the situation, it would appear to be yet more of Roger Herrington's historic misinformation.
IHH that Napton Narrowboats say nothing is set in stone and will investigate ways to keeping barriers low key, not obstructing tow ropes and with 24/7 access for boaters. One would hope that something good will come of this, one of the last totally intact set of "stop" and junction buildings will be retained with sympathetic use, boaters facilities will be also be retained at this important waterways cross roads and the sanitary station could be reinstated. As for people complaining that NWF have chosen a bad site for the 2008 National, I am of the persuasion that think it is a bloody good site, an area that needs "winning" back from the yobs and to get people to cruise round the BCN...Napton Narrowboats have also put their money where their mouth is to invest in this area. -- Neil Arlidge - NB Earnest - Shannon Reg 7410 Read about our Irish travels at: http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/Tour_07/index.html
