Ouse price increase of up to 60% needs to be scrapped

The imminent price increase of up to 60% needs to be scrapped,it’s going to cause people to sell their boats or move to other waters and damage great Ouse based marinas and other businesses that depend on the boating community,we already pay a lot to use a river system that regularly closes due to strong stream advice,lock gates that are broken more than they are working and mud and silt build up that is dealt with totally inadequately along with Reed growth etc making lots of the rivers unusable,it’s a totally unfair and unethical cash grab

Why is this important?

The great Ouse network is a beautiful area but the price increase will make it the most expensive river network in the uk which is totally unacceptable given the lack of present upkeep
