  • Iwa Submission on the Environment Bill – Appendix A
    IWA SUBMISSION ON THE ENVIRONMENT BILL – APPENDIX A IWA VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE PROPULSION ON THE INLAND WATERWAYS EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW 1. Recognising the UK Government’s strategy to reduce emissions from diesel and petrol engines, IWA formed its Sustainable Propulsion Group in 2019 to identify and monitor developments which will enable boats on the inland waterways to fully contribute to the Government’s stated aim of zero CO2 emissions by 2050. 2. The Group has identified a number potential solutions that it recommends should be progressed in order to ensure that boats used on the inland waterways do not get left behind in technological developments. These are outlined in more detail in this paper. 3. To ensure that the inland waterways continue to be sustainable for future generations, and continue to deliver benefits to society and the economy, IWA has concluded that national, devolved and local government should progress the following initiatives: Investment in infrastructure through the installation of 300 shore power mains connection charging sites across the connected inland waterways network. This would improve air quality by reducing the emissions from stoves for heating and engines run for charging batteries, as well as enabling a move towards more boats with electric propulsion. Working with navigation authorities, investment in a national dredging programme across the inland waterways to make propulsion more efficient. This will also have additional environmental benefits on water quality and increasing capacity for flood waters. Research and investment into the production, use and distribution of biofuels. This will be necessary to reduce the environmental impact of existing diesel engines which, given their longevity, will still be around until well after 2050.

  • History 1890 – 1966
    A HISTORY OF GLOUCESTER HARBOUR TRUSTEES By W. A. Stone Clerk to the Trustees 1958 -1966 PART 1 1890 - 1966 CONTENTS Chapter Page 1 Origin, Constitution and Membership, with details of Navigational Aids erected prior to the incorporation of the Gloucester Harbour Trustees on 5 July 1890 3 2 Navigational Aids 20 3 Finances 39 4 Spanning the Severn Estuary 51 5 New Works and other installation in the Severn Estuary 56 6 Stranding of Vessels and other Incidents 61 7 Northwick Moorings 71 8 Officers and Staff 74 1 FOREWORD In compiling this History I have endeavoured to give the reasons for the appointment of a body of Trustees to control a defined area of the Severn Estuary, and to tell of the great amount of work undertaken by the Trustees and the small staff in administering the requirements of the 1890 Act. It is probable that I have given emphasis to the erection and upkeep of the Navigational Aids, but it must be realised that this was the main requirement of the Act, to ensure that the Trustees, as a Harbour authority, disposed of their income in a manner which was calculated to benefit the navigation of the Severn Estuary. A great deal of research has been necessary and the advice and assistance given to me by the present Officers, and by others who held similar posts in the past, is greatly appreciated. Without their help the task would have been much more formidable. W A Stone Clerk to the Trustees December 1966 2 Chapter One ORIGIN, CONSTITUTION AND MEMBERSHIP WITH DETAILS OF NAVIGATIONAL AIDS ERECTED PRIOR TO THE INCORPORATION OF THE GLOUCESTER HARBOUR TRUSTEES ON 5 JULY 1890 To obtain the reasons for the constitution of a body of Trustees to control a defined area of the River Severn, it is necessary to go back to the year 1861.

Our Partnership is one of a number of local waterway partnerships created as an integral part of the governance of the new Trust. The local partnerships are an important outward looking component of the Trust structure as they aim to engage locally with people, decision makers and communities. As advisory partnerships, focusing on local vision and aspirations rather than operational matters, they generate great added value to the work of the trust as they develop and mature. My partnership members have been recruited from a diverse interest base and are drawn from all across the waterway area. We have spent a significant part of our formative year both collectively and individually, out and about across the region and increasing our knowledge about the work of the Trust in aspects such as such as volunteering, fundraising, heritage, development and enterprise.

    1 THE EASTERLING JOURNAL OF THE EASTANGLIAN WATERWAYS ASSOCIATION VOLUME NINE, NUMBER NINE JUNE 2014 Edited by Alan H. Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The 44 th Annual General Meeting was held on Sunday 18 May based on St. Mary’s Church Hall, Westry, March in Cambridgeshire. The day started off with a visit to the nearby boatyard operated by Fox Narrow Boats where we were met by Paula Syred, daughter of the late Charlie Fox who had established the business in 1959. Members were given an interesting presentation of how the company had developed before looking round the marina and being able to inspect two of the current hire boats – Leisurely Fox and Silver Fox - both of which looked extremely smart. And then it was back to St. Marys where we were fortunate in being able to look round the recently restored church that had suffered an arson attack four years ago. Members then enjoyed an excellent luncheon laid on by Margaret Martin and her team before turning to the formal business of the day. 2 The Director’s Report and Accounts for the year ending 30 June 2013 were duly, approved before Alan Faulkner, David Mercer and Jeff Walters were re-elected as Directors and John Cordran was re-elected as Accounts Scrutineer. Chris Black then gave a full report about the progress on the North Walsham & Dilham Canal and the meeting concluded with a report by Chairman Roger which centred round the Environment Agency’s reduction in dredging and maintenance.

  • Gsia Projects in Support of the Restoration of the Stroudwater Canal
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 2006 pages 3-11 GSIA PROJECTS IN SUPPORT OF THE RESTORATION OF THE STROUDWATER CANAL Ray Wilson One of the first excursions made by the newly formed GSIA in 1964 was to the Stroudwater and Thames & Severn Canals. Our leader was Humphrey Household who published his detailed history of the Thames & Severn Canal in 1969. Similar walks held over the years have always drawn a good attendance. Indeed, many of our members are also members of the Cotswold Canals Trust which has for more than thirty years (under different names) vigorously promoted the restoration of the two canals. Through a combination of practical work and campaigning the Canals Trust have kept alive thoughts of a full restoration of both waterways. They were rewarded in 2001 when The Cotswold Canals Partnership was formed to build on the work already carried out by volunteers and to drive restoration plans forward. The project to restore the Cotswold Canals is planned to be undertaken in phases: • The restoration of the Stroudwater Navigation from Stonehouse to Stroud and 4km of the Thames & Severn from Stroud to Brimscombe Port and the establishment of a walking trail to Saul Junction (phase 1A) • Restoration of the Stroudwater Navigation between Stonehouse and Saul Junction (phase 1B) • The restoration of the Thames & Severn Canal from the Thames at Inglesham to the Cotswold Water Park running close to Cricklade • The creation of a walking trail along the entire length of the Thames & Severn Canal between Brimscombe and Inglesham • Connecting the Cotswold Canals to Swindon through the North Wilts Canal • Restoring the Thames & Severn Canal from Brimscombe to Sapperton Tunnel west portal and from Sapperton Tunnel east portal to the Cotswold Water Park • Restoring the 3.6km (2¼-mile) Sapperton Tunnel In January 2006, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) formally awarded £11.9 million towards phase 1A of the restoration.
