	The Broads Society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		In its submission to DEFRA, the Broads Authority refers to the fact that the sum available for dredging in 2002/3 will be £325,000, but that it hopes by 2005 to increase this to £500,000 by raising the tolls levied on vessels using the Broadland waterways.
		The Authority goes on to state that it will be necessary to spend between £1.25 and £l.5 million on dredging the rivers and broads directly linked with them if it is to sustain the system in a navigable condition.
		To summarise: the Broads Society believes that if Broadland is to be managed sustainably, and in the best interests of the features for which it is nationally renowned, namely conservation and water-based tourism and recreation, the financial resources available to the Broads Authority need to be substantially increased.
