Fund Britain's Waterways at the Middlewich Midsummer festival

Fund Britain's Waterways has secured an in-depth Q&A session with the Environment Agency about the waterways they manage.

We are now collecting questions, so please email your questions to info@fundbritainswaterways.org.uk by the 6th July to be collated and submitted to EA in advance of the session. The more questions we get, the more we will show the EA and the government how important our waterways are to the wellbeing of all.

For examples of questions please see the previous Q&A sessions with CRT

and the Middle Level Commissioners

A public gathering is being organised at the Brayford Pool on Saturday 22nd August 2026 at 11am to begin making progress on the poor state of our rivers in the area of the Fossdyke & Witham. I would really appreciate your support.The BBC have also been contacted and will be there. We are also in communication with the CRT and the EA so they have the opportunity to share their views too. The Brayford Trust are also supporting this initiative.

Essentially, it is time we all started raising awareness publicly about this issue. If you wish, come by boat and we can fill up the Brayford Pool to make as much impact as possible.
