River Access For Non-Powered Craft

EDM number 1331 in 2007-08, proposed by John Grogan on 03/04/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Leisure, Shipping and Sports.

That this House urges the Government to extend legislation on access to the countryside in England and Wales to allow canoeists and users of non-powered craft similar access rights to water as walkers have to the land; notes that in Scotland such access, accompanied by a code of rights and responsibilities for all concerned, has been successfully implemented; and believes that increased access to waterways would lead to greater participation in canoeing, resulting both in obvious health benefits to the nation and in increased chances of future Olympic success.

This motion has been signed by a total of 101 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
