7bn worth of waterways regeneration? Not on your life!

Waterways minister Jonathan Shaw claimed there had been 7 billion pounds of inviestment into waterways regeneration in the past few years. Thats taking things a bit far because this regeneration actually pertains to development along the canal (in Soviet style of course!) See Manchester Evening News

Virutally none of this money has been used for improvements to navigation or any of the urgently needed repairs that the waterway navigation authorities are unable to carry out.

Pass me the sick bag please Mr Shaw!
