I WROTE to the Transport Minister to ask if the Government would consider using the waterways as an alternative instead of the increase of haulage by road.
Why spend more on roads when we have a fantastic network of rivers, canals and waterways that could assist in transporting goods all over this country?
I am very inspired by the letter I received in a genuine re-think on this form of transport and a possible alternative for the future.
