Canals and Rivers Trust (CRT) have produced a letter sent to many interested parties outlining some of the issues they are experiencing with water abstraction licenses and the restrictions being imposed on them. They are also highlighting the cost to ensure an adequate water supply against the backdrop of reduction in government funding.
Restoring the Mon and Brec is a key objective of MBACT, and maintaining the water supply is a key element of this. As such each of us needs to do as much as we can to ensure that the canal remains in water.
MBACT have produced a response in support of the CRT campaign to raise awareness of the potential risk of lack of sufficient water to maintain the function of the canal and the consequent potential closure.
Copies of the CRT letter and MBACT response are attached.
