Canal & River Trust (CRT) has announced a consultation on minimum standards for boater facilities. This is the first stage of a longer review and consultation regarding boater facilities and aims to gather information in order to agree a minimum standard of boater facilities that CRT will provide. This initial consultation closes on 21st November 2022.
The consultation questions include:
What is the minimum standard of essential facilities that CRT should provide: CRT suggests this is water taps, rubbish disposal, Elsan disposal and pump out.
What is the maximum cruising distance between boater facilities.
What facilities you do not consider a minimum standard, and therefore would not be provided by the CRT.
What factors should be taken into consideration if CRT was to provide a higher or lower level to any minimum standard.
