Safety of Thames Weirs (and others)
Chris Hawkesworth was kind enough to forward this: Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2004 17:29:05 -0000 From: Chris Subject: Safer Weirs. To: Allan Bennett Cc: Colin Kempson , Kevin East 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 . www.environment-agency.gov.uk/floodresearch WRc, Frankland Road, Blagrove, Swindon, Wilts SN5 8YF. 01793 865012 ---------------------------------- The website seems to want a user name & password, but despite that the documents can be reached via a search box.
