Dear Allan,
I thought you might like to know that there has just been published by DEFRA
and the EA the following document.
River Weirs - Good Practice Guide.
R&D Publication W5B-023/HQP
This booklet is 10mm thick A4 and quite glossy. The BCU has had a hand in
addressing the issues contained within it and we put your views forward for
consideration.
Though not all our views are included and it generally talks about new Weirs
and refurbishments. Nonetheless Canoeing is mentioned in almost every page
together with "Duty of Care" and other like words.
It will be available shortly on the EA web site and is available for purchase
£50 p+p from .
