Stop ABP Widening the Channel in Southampton Water

This is the repeat of a posting by Luke Scott on the Dart 18 site. The reason I have posted it here is because it would have a dramatic effect on the amount of water available for sailing at Weston and Netley Sailing Clubs. It would mean that netly probably wopuld not have enough space left for running a Nationals near the Club, which would be a major blow.


I've started a Facebook group for all those that sail on the Solent!

ABP are proposing to widen the eastern side of the navicable channel in Southampton by 100meters. In an already constriced piece of water this will prove to be a serious blow to leisure users of the river as well as a large impact on the ecology of the river. Please read the report compliled by eastleigh council

I'm not sure that Facebook is the best way to deal with this, it probably needs a petition raising but I bet one of the local clubs will get one going pretty quick.
Cheers

PS I'm amused that I just copied this posting from the Dart 18 chat page where the hot keys do not work and the hot keys work on our site.
It just goes to show the good work Martin does on our website. :wink:
