I know for my self when canal and river trust was formed, I was hoping the us and them attitude that had become entrenched under BW was going to end. A fresh beginning and all that. Unfortunately under crt's managment it's got a lot worse, the number of boaters I meet who are disgruntled and pissed off with the way cart are managing the waterways has definately increased.

Hello Kris. Of no practical help to your hopes and wishes - your post did make me think of this awesome and almost relevant Pink Floyd track. My YouTube play list follows it up with this entirely relevant one! Ps, if no one is sure what I'm waffling on about Google the lyrics for both songs 👍 after all, not much excuse is needed to post some quality tunes - something that has been sadly missing from here for awhile  👍🔊🔊🔊 |

Welcome back @gazza.
Missed the Pink Floyd references ... even missed Frozen if I'm honest.

I remain torn over this issue.
I despair with C&RT management (oxymoron I know) but have great regard for the bankside staff.
I still support C&RT as a 'friend' as the canal system is my home nine months a year, and I wish to 'put back' into its upkeep.
I fear jenlyn will prove right, and Parry and C&RT will be gone before long, but the fear is, what will replace them.

Rog Cart has to go for something better to replace them, so my worry is not what will replace them. But what will be left for someone else to take over? NigelMoore has pointed out that the only mechanism in place for replacment of cart needs them to fail finnacially first. |

And from an era when you could still obtain decent smoking material.  |

I find it difficult to find fault with CRT.
Before I get the normal barracade from certain posters, I do find dismay at their repair actions and general maintenence shortfalls, but the accusations of harrasment and suchlike, I do find laughable.
Yes, they may make minor mistakes, as in the recent Stabby incident at Tarleton, easily sorted by being accomodating.
Can only go from my own experiences....
Ive never, since 1991, been chased or harrassed by them or BW...Mebbee Ive been doing something wrong by paying upfront, or mebbee some others need to look in the mirror?

All organisationshave their faults and their 'jobsworths' Its nice to read some positivity about CRT |
