No quorum.
County Council Officials stated that Ministry of Transport was of the opinion that the Stroudwater Navigation should apply for abandonment. Area Catchment Board declined to concern themselves with Navigation’s Canal. Stroudwater Navigation would not object to construction of low level road bridges, if urgent, subject to provision for flow of water underneath the bridges. Necessary to ask County Council to discontinue emptying their water into the Stroudwater Canal. Since the abandonment of the Thames & Severn Canal there was no right to discharge the water.
