avon bypass

[kingfisher 0]

i was watching the tv show countrywise tonight when part of it was dedicated to a group of boaters wanting to open up part of the avon between stratford and warwick to boats, now this according to the group (cant find a link for them yet) means a lot of dredging and replacing some very nice looking wiers with locks! :realmad: i dont live anywhere near the avon so dont have a real need to be up in arms about this but i think it would be a real shame to spoil what looks like a perfect fishing setting just for some canal boat infusiasts (yeah i know its not spelt right) what can get between stratford and warwick via a canal . i realise the rivers not just for us but for gods sake its nice to be able to fish without boats going past every few minutes and then theres the problems that the dredging would cause to the fish! i for one will be hoping this does not go through
