Tomorrow, Thursday 11th April 2024, between 10am and 3pm, CRT volunteers’ work boats will be collecting rubbish between Bath and Bradford on Avon. If you have any bulky items such as mattresses, barrels of oil, waste from boat fit-outs etc, just give them a shout as they pass. They will also be doing some litter picking on the towpath as they go, and boaters are welcome to do their own litter picking and dispose of it as the work boat passes.
A group of local residents, itinerant boaters and long-term mooring holders have started a petition to keep the CRT boater bins at Bathampton, which were closed by CRT a month ago on 11th March with only a week’s notice and no consultation.
