Looking Forward to the Next Ten Years
Looking forward to the next ten years London Waterway Partnership Ten Year Strategic Plan 2014 1 Welcome I am delighted to present the London Waterway Partnership’s Strategic Plan. Preparation of the plan has taken a good deal of the Partnership’s early effort, but we have been much helped by the reception and comments arising from our draft document and the two consultation meetings held in December 2013. We are also grateful for the written comments received from the Heritage Lottery Fund; the Hillingdon Canal Partnership; London Boaters and Mark Walton, the River Lee Tidal Mill Trust and Westminster City Council. The document has been strengthened by the valuable points made by our respondents, particularly in emphasising the way in which London waterways can enrich regeneration opportunities and support education, training and volunteering. Our strategy is not set in stone. It is designed to develop over time with the continuing input from those supporting our waterways. We will report progress at our Annual Meeting. Our aspirations are ambitious and how quickly the objectives are met, will depend on the resources available in terms of money and support from within the Canal & River Trust and externally. What is not in question is our conviction that the regional and local elements of the Trust’s overall strategy should be emphasised. We set up the Partnership Board of 12 members in July 2013 and deliberately chose to make the board as diverse as possible in order to reflect the very wide range of interests in canals and waterways. I have been impressed by the Board’s commitment and enthusiasm, characteristics which have been reflected in the many people we have met in getting to know the key elements of London’s very diverse waterways. -

Hertford & Ware Walks
Hertford & Ware Walks Points of Interest Riverside Trail Hertford Hertford is the second largest town in East Hertfordshire and was the site of the first General Synod of the English Church in 673AD. It has been a strategically important site since Saxon times as it is the meeting place of four rivers; the some seventy miles to the Thames at Bow Creek, Mimram, the Rib, the Lea (Lee) and the Beane. downstream of the Isle of Dogs. It was navigable with difficulty up to Hertford but over the years the meandering course of the river was straightened with new cuts. As so little of the present route is on the river itself, it is called a ‘navigation’. By conven- tion the old river is spelt Lea while the navigation is spelt Lee. Since the first record of the River Lea in the Treaty of Wedmore between King Alfred and the Danes in AD879, the river has been used in a variety of ways, including the transportation of goods, waste disposal, flood control, mill power and more recently, leisure.

Pollution of Rivers Commission
POLLUTION OF RIVERS COMMISSION. (RIVER LEE INQUIRY.) Those Peers who wish for copies of the MINUTES OF EVIDENCE can obtain them of the Clerk of the Printed Papers, House of Lords. LONDON: PRINTED BY GEORGE EDWARD EYRE AND WILLIAM SPOTTISWOODE, PRINTERS TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. FOR HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE. 1867. REPORT. TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. WE, Your Majesty's Commissioners appointed by Your Majesty's Commission, dated the 18th day of May 1865, to inquire and report as to the pollution of rivers and running waters, and also as to any remedial measures which may be practicable, having on the 29th March 1866 presented our Report on the main stream of the river Thames, proceeded to examine certain rivers and streams in the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire; but, in consequence of representations made to us upon the subject of an outbreak of cholera in the months of July and August 1866 in Poplar and other parts of the district supplied principally by the East London Waterworks Company, which Company derives its water from the river Lee, we thought it advisable to make earlier inquiry into the pollutions of the river Lee than we otherwise should have done. We commenced to make public inquiry on the 10th December 1866, at the Rivers Commission Offices, No. 2, Victoria Street, Westminster, and we continued such inquiry on the 11th and 15th of the same month, and also on the 4th of February 1867. We also, after due notice in the districts, made public inquiry in the towns of Luton on December 12th 1866. -

The scale of hosting the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games should not be underestimated. However the Games are changing the capital’s transport system for the better and have been the catalyst for increasing the capacity and accessibility of London’s transport infrastructure. Together, the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), Transport for London (TfL), Network Rail, central Government and other delivery partners are investing billions of pounds into different schemes so London 2012 can genuinely be a public transport Games. -
Lee Navigation: Outline of Initial Mooring Strategy Ideas
Lee Navigation: Outline of initial mooring strategy ideas Overview BW accepts that mooring patterns are not acceptable on the Lee and we’ve outlined a two phase strategy that we believe will effectively improve the current conditions. The initial stage concentrates on the basics of introducing a new mooring and cruising regime for the Lee Navigation. Phase two extends the strategy to immediately adjacent waterways and develops/tweaks the finer detail to underpin the sustainability of the new regime. These are only our initial ideas and we actively seek the views of the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, other local organisations and those of national interest groups (such as the Inland Waterways Association). Phase One – Proving the concept, 2011 Defining Neighbourhoods When a boater buys their licence and declares themselves a continuous cruiser they commit to making a progressive journey around the network or a significant part of it. This progressive journey is defined by moving from one neighbourhood to another and not immediately returning to the neighbourhood they have just left (i.e. not going from A to B to A – the only time this is permitted is when they reach a dead end or when they are changing the direction of their travel so it would be something like A to B to A to Z to Y etc). Ordinarily it is up to enforcement teams around the country to move boats on but boaters will not be told how far they have to move in order to reach the next neighbourhood – this is all down to legal complexities. -
