So, Mr Hawkesworth: now that the EA have admitted that some of their
structures are a danger to river-users (such as racing paddlers - the guide
does not recognise racing or touring paddlers as canoeists!!!) - with "the
inevitable risk of drowning", and acknowledge their liability - what does the
BCU propose to do to ensure the weirs are made safe?

Er ... I hate to expose the logic (and indeed admit that someone other
than you two is reading this), but if it's an EA "admission" and
"liability", why do you imagine the BCU can "make the weirs safe"?
Should you not be addressing your question to the EA?
