There’s no sign of this dredging yet, so I think it was just a towpath rumour.

A sand bar is reducing the width of the navigation channel upstream of Barton Island. Dredging is proposed to be carried out to remove this between 3rd and 9thSeptember. The dates may vary, though the navigation will remain fully open.Boaters are requested to pass the working area with due care and follow any instructions from the dredging crew.

Can't they do it any quicker? It's August 22nd today. Still, the Trent might be navigable by the time we get there (year 2024?), what with Global Warming melting the Antarctic and water levels rising everywhere.

It is NOT reduced width of the navigation channel that needs rectifying, it's the much reduced depth ! In common with all 'improved' river navigations, the dredged cross-sectional area and profile of the Trent's navigation channel is something that has to be carefully tailored to the differing widths and flow/run-off characteristics along different stretches of the river. Get it right, and the depth of the navigation channel is largely maintained by natural scouring, . . get it wrong, and that part of the river quickly reverts back to the shoal conditions left by the last significant flooding. If C&RT have instructed the contractors merely to widen the navigation channel at Barton Island, . . then their aspirations to reduce the navigable depth of the Trent by default, and with the collusion of the more co-operative of their 'customers', will remain very much within their grasp.

Sometimes I wonder if you are a clairvoyant or something crazy like that.

Depending on who it is, which of C&RT's many departments they represent, and the use to which that particular day's version of what passes for the truth is to be put, anyone acting on the Trust's behalf will say or write that the MNC varies from a mere 20' or less in a narrow canal up to the entire width between the banks of a 250' wide river.

I think by more co operative customers tony means the ones who pay for a “liscence.” What sort of 'Licence' would that be, . . the genuine pleasure boat Licence that covers keeping and using a boat on the non-PRN canals for the time being under C&RT's control, and serves as a Pleasure Boat [registration] Certificate for the purposes of the BW Act of 1971, . . or the fraudulent 'Rivers Only Licence' that C&RT's equally dishonest predecessors invented to feed their own slightly less rampant brand of corporate megalomania ?
