Sue was out at Sunbury gathering support from passing boaters on Saturday while Steve ran the lock. I urge any forumite who goes through to get their name on the paper.

The TVR filled up a few sheets at the weekend.
100% support from Bray, Harleford, Oxford Ditch and Windsor people I spoke with while doing the rounds with a clipboard

Now can anybody recommend any non-marking slippers?

Did anyone bother to listen to Eilleen McKeever? She says 'no redundancies'.
Lockies wife says 'redundancies'. Can't both be true?

Well done John, there were at least 6 full sheets, that means about 160 signatures.

Sadly the sale of property is a flawed scheme the ea will have to increase the salaries for lock keepers hence it will cost more in the long run!

My thoughts too. And once its gone, its gone forever (they'd never buy it back if they found they made a mistake - it would be too expensive), and the cash raised will be gone pretty quickly too.
Then what?
As an aside, how many years did it take to build up a working infrastructure on the Thames, and how much quicker do you think it would be to dismantle it?

That's nu-labour for you , what did TBliar know about history let alone understand it. They've been destroying our whole life and nation ever since they came to power.
And don't forget, any money raised through the sale of these houses won't stay with the EA, that will be winging its way back to DEFRA and above you can be sure.

They should have fixed a rental price for each property, and mortgaged them for the exact amount that the rental would have paid, creating a self-funding scheme which would have resulted in around £180,000 per property being raised, but without losing the actual properties, or strategic land.
They could have done this to each and every property without anybody being upset, and not affecting the status quo either.
And in twenty years, they could repeat the excercise...
The problem is, we are dealing with Asses, rather than Assets here.
