If you gave it 110% and immersed yourself in the synergy of the company ethos I'm sure you could cope

Probably. Hopefully CaRT can afford a few extra inches. Maybe CRT could consider using chains? ........ ........ which always used to be standard practice for tying up hoppers and flats on the canals, and cog boats on rivers like the Trent !

I thought you deserve a laugh, this bolloux was on an email I received from CRT today. "Service Mission To facilitate, direct and guide the Trust on creating a customer centric business, building on and improving the Trustโs service proposition into a cohesive approach. To provide direct service operations; innovate process improvements to provide a basis for better service to our customers whilst creating efficiency within the Trust; to improve service delivery skills within the Trust and lead by example; to use customer information to ensure our customers have a targeted, exceptional and efficient service experience at every touchpoint." It seems like real words but how ever many times you read it your still baffled. I have had tins of alphabetti spaghetti that made more sense. I can translate that - Ian Rogers is saying that CaRT needs to improve its service to its customers and his department will take the lead.

Has anyone sent his statement to the Plain English folk?

A mission statement should set out clear unambiguous goals, with an indication of the methodology that will be used to achieve them. However, as they are normally written by people who have no idea what they are going to do but are determined to protect their backs ..................................................................................

View AttachmentWe had a nice simple mission statement. "To become the number 1 convenience store" Which we did. Bet the new statement is as complicated as Crt's although the new unofficial one is just back to being Coop which does sum up the mood of the business right now.

"innovative pushing of the legalistic envelope, and creative implementation of the perceived boundaries of the law going forward "
( we can hoof your licence in the bin, and pretend you signed a contract to let us do it )
" Re thinking traditional models of maintainance to be inclusive of non operational infrastructure"

"innovative pushing of the legalistic envelope, and creative implementation of the perceived boundaries of the law going forward " Nothing new there. Back when they published the Bonus scheme targets for their top echelon of directors, the Legal Directorโs aims were very clear:- Nigel Johnson Bonus Targets 2007 to 2008 Provide excellent legal service and advice to BW and progress the following projects: -
(1) Status Review: Provide legal advice and back up to a Review of the Corporate status of BW . . . .
(2) Waterways Legislation: Prepare and submit for formal Government approval (i.e. with a view to it forming part of their legislative programmed) a proposal for the modernisation of Waterways law (by primary or secondary legislation) that includes provisions of long term business benefit to BW.
(3) Environmental Legislation: Either: ( a ) Successfully defend the EA prosecution of BW under Water Resources Act regarding BGA at the Tringford Summit of the GU; or ( b ) Following conviction, prepare a comprehensive case to Government for the revision of the WRA to decriminalise such events.
(4) [ information omitted on the grounds of professional legal privilege ] Given the date range, the privileged information was probably respecting the โ excellent legal service and adviceโ respecting my High Court challenge. 2008 to 2009 [omitting a few boring ones] (3) Complete redraft of existing England & Wales Byelaws to form suitable for new terms to be approved by the Board. Despite earning some ยฃ28k in bonuses for meeting this target, he claimed under X-examination that he knew little about them, and only " had some hand in" what his underlings had done. (5) [ information omitted on the grounds of professional legal privilege ] He had a few years to go, at this stage, in continuing the โ excellent legal service and advice to BWโ that eventually earned him the mild opprobrium of the judge in 2012.

" Re thinking traditional models of maintainance to be inclusive of non operational infrastructure" ( if we drop our standards everything that is fucked is now " historic structure" and we don't have to fix it ) Johnson had that covered too. His greatest achievement was the 2012 Transfer Order, which, amongst other atrocities, emasculated the 1968 Transport Act right for citizens to enforce the statutory maintenance duties. canalrivertrust.org.uk/media/library/1224.pdfThe relevant section was excised completely, and this substituted: - Enforcement of maintenance duty โ Canal & River Trust
106A. โ
(3) If . . . at any time after enforcement proceedings have been instituted and before the court has imposed any requirement on Canal & River Trust in the proceedings, the Minister notifies Canal & River Trust that the Minister is considering the making of a relevant order and gives the court such a certificate as is mentioned in subsection (4)โ (a) the court shall not, so long as the order is pending, impose any requirement on Canal & River Trust in those proceedings;
(4) The certificate referred to in subsection (3) is a certificate in writing to the effect that it appears to the Minister that the imposition of any requirement on Canal & River Trust on 16 the basis of its existing duty would result in its incurring substantial expense and that, having regard to its financial position, it would be unreasonable for it to bear that expense without a grant or further grant under section 43A of this Act.
Spend enough millions on advertising, bonuses, attractive levels of executive pay, etc, etc, and no-one will ever be able to say you have enough money to spend on the statutory minimum maintence obligations. Prior to passage of this Instrument, a member of the Lordsโ Merits Committee, Lord Scott of Foscote said the โ worry is that the satisfaction of the efficiency, effectiveness, economy and securing appropriate accountability requirements of the Act become a little difficult to follow.โ It was an astute enough observation. www.parliament.uk/documents/lords-committees/merits-statutory-instruments/Correct-Transcript-of-Merits-Committee-(British-Waterways-Board)-24-April-2012.pdf In seeking to reassure the Lords Committee over the condition of the โassetsโ, Richard Benyon MP claimed: โ The trustees would not have signed up to that if they felt that they would be unable to manage those key assets intp the future [after all, they would be putting their ยฃ10 at risk] What we have managed to predict is that there will be a continuing problem for a few years, but the situation will then improve at a pont in time not many years off โ is that in 2010 Robin?
Robin Evans: The condition of the assets deteriorates a bit and then levels off but is stable.โ Nobody can say that the government was not warned. According to the CaRT promoters, we still have another 4 years of deterioration to expect, before the condition stablises at that degraded level - and that was said in the expectation that volunteers would be rushing to overload the charity's coffers in their millions.
