	Adjudication British Waterways Board (July 2001) Crt of Session
		Adjudication had been commenced which British Waterways considered was in disregard to the terms of the procedure in Clause 90.
		British Waterways argued that the contractors were acting in disregard of the contract, namely Clause 90 as inserted into the contract by Addendum Y (UK) 2.
		The third argument by British Waterways Board was that if the adjudication were to go ahead at that stage it would be necessary for the parties to go to the expense of arguing the "dispute" and presenting the arguments of parties to the adjudicator.

	The 20th Meeting of the Countryside Agency - Minutes
		The Board noted that this contract was the largest ever let in the Agency, but they were happy with the process and checks that had been undertaken in letting it, with the guidance of David Woodhall.
		The Board agreed that the signing off of all maps should be carried out by the Chairman or Deputy Chair, but there was a role for regional Board members to share some of the responsibility in the lead up to sign off.
		Introducing the paper, Carol Somper said that the Board were asked to consider the first three year programme for the new Agency Future Foresight function, focusing on long term trends and impacts arising from demographic change and travel, the impact of globilisation and economic change, the impact of ICT and long term environmental needs.

	The 5th Meeting of the Countryside Agency - Minutes
		Board members expressed their disquiet at the lack of time the Government had provided for discussion on the issue of access to 'other land' but welcomed what they felt were common sense proposals produced under difficult circumstances.
		British Waterways were not happy with the proposals for access to canal towpaths.
		The Chief Executive informed the Board that, despite reports to the contrary in the media, it was the Countryside Agency's role to decide on whether to designate as a national park or not.

		If the BWB surveyor were agreeable, it would be in order for the DV to have regard to the Scale in assessing the compensation in any particular case.
		BWB's surveyor's fees should be paid on the basis of Ryde's Scale (1996) (Scale 2.1/Table A) in relation to compensation for the easement.

	British Waterways Board: A report on the service provided by the Board
		BWB has some profitable activities (in the sense of covering direct costs and making a contribution to overheads) such as boat licensing, the provision of moorings, supplying water, letting properties and developing sites, but the network as a whole is not commercially viable.
		We have also recommended that BWB should retain a sufficient dredging capacity to enable a fast response to emergencies such as a blocked waterway but that all planned dredging operations in all regions should be contracted out with effect from 1 October 1994, unless such contracts are shown to be less cost-effective than in-house operation.
		BWB argued that because of the savings from the substantial improvement in organizational efficiency, the main reason for establishing its headquarters at Willow Grange, it was fair to conclude that the project had been a considerable success.

	Lighthouses of Scotland's West Coast
		The Northern Lighthouse Board, established by an act of Parliament in 1786, manages the major lighthouses of Scotland and the Isle of Man. For five generations, engineers of the Stevenson family created for the Board a network of elegant and durable lighthouses famous around the world.
		The waterway connects Oban and the Firth of Lorn, on the west coast, with Inverness and Moray Firth on the northeast coast.
		After the Northern Lighthouse Board declined to accept the lighthouse, it was operated by the local navigation authority from 1795 to 1867 and then by a private landowner from 1894 to 1933.

		At the first ceremony, British Waterways were careful to state that the date "will mark the start of a commissioning phase to bring the canal up to full operational standard before it is officially reopened in the autumn".
		British Waterways held a media event at the end of May to launch the restoration of the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal, which it believes will form the backbone of a key regeneration corridor, linking a series of inner city rejuvenation projects in Salford, Bolton and Bury.
		They turned out in force, with hundreds boarding Sagitta (Staffordshire County Council and British Waterways’ project boat) to find out more about canals in Staffordshire and Baildon to see what it was like to live in the back cabin of a narrow boat.

		The British Waterways Board (owners of the lift) saw little reason for maintenance, particularly since Britain's canals, as a means of commercial transport, seemed a thing of the past.
		British Waterways also pointed out that since safety requirements had tightened over the years, the restored lift would need everything from safer handrails to a modern braking system.

	British Waterways Board: government observations on the fourth report of the Select Committee on Nationalised Industries
		The Select Committee were severly critical of the Government's handling of the affairs of the British Waterways Board in their fourth report, and on the proposals for the future of the Board and the White Paper on the Water Industry of July 1977.
		The report looks at financing the waterways (the maintenance backlog, and future financing), the commercial role of the waterways (freight transport), and the equal competition with other forms of transport.
		In its summary the Government, while sharing fully the Committee's view that it is essential that the waterways undertaking should be placed on a firm long-term financial and organisational basis, does not accept the Committee's analysis of the situation or their recommendations for future actio.
