The K&A has been dredged between Great Bedwyn and Bishops Cannings. Dredging finished in June 2017. CRT also cut back vegetation along this stretch.
Dredging barges lifted out at the end of the job
If you have noticed an improvement in the depth of water for navigation or for mooring, please let us know by contacting info@boatingcommunity.org.uk or 07928 078208 so that we can build up a picture of how far the work has improved the range and mooring possibilities in the Long Pound and beyond, especially for deeper draughted boats. We will pass on any information (but not anyone’s personal details) to the K&A Manager Mark Evans.
