Reading Rivers!: Water transport included in Tory plans
New Tory transport plans include mention of the town’s waterways (”Vision for transport includes river power“):
Reading is blessed by having two major rivers running through it. The Thames and the Kennet (Kennet and Avon Canal) are under-used resources for transporting both people and goods and could provide an enjoyable alternative to driving.
I considered this opportunity on my blog last September (”Thames Valley Park boat gets my vote“) and still think that it would be a fab thing to have (river transport, that is). I don’t think it will ever happen, but it’s a nice thought.
