CRT is selling out our towpaths

摘要

They're 'improving' 16 miles of towpath between Paddington and West Drayton in London. There's been a Canal and River Trust 'consultation' on it which began on 24 October and closed on 30 November - so you've missed it. Not that you missed much. According to Susannah Miller, co-ordinating the project, it wasn't 'a consultation in the formal sense of the word.' Damn right it wasn't, Susannah! A more honest way of putting it would be to admit that it wasn't a consultation at all. It was a PR exercise to justify action that's already been decided.
