It goes without saying that we are thinking of all the boaters affected by the Whitchurch breach, especially this close to Christmas. #narrowboats #UKCanals
Without adequate funding the entire #canalsandrivers network is at risk. #FundBritainsWaterways has been campaigning for @DefraGovUK to increase expenditure & safeguard our #waterways future. #UKCanals #narrowboaters
