Writing to your MP
      22/05/2008 08:12

I have been boating on the Thames for about 10 years and like many of you, I feel very strongly about the proposed sale of Lock Houses, and agree with the sentiment that it will be bad for the River and for those who enjoy it in a wide variety of ways.

Regarding my concerns I wrote to the EA [no reply to date] and also my MP who replied very swiftly, stating that signing EDM 742 was not the best way to raise the profile of our concerns, but that she would take the matter to the Minister, Hilary Benn, the Secretary of State responsible. I see to date 17 MP’s have signed the motion, but thought this may be another way of getting attention and hopefully action to this issue which I see as a further erosion of the things that are Great about Great Britain.
