I suppose it's a good start -
at least matters are recorded,
but it beggars belief how a figure of 90% is believable, unless of course the condition parameters are set so widely as to be meaningless.
I'm not wanting to rubbish anything (!), but it lacks credibility - in my eyes at least.

Very easy to score highly... When they choose the measures?
Cubic tons dredged?......0
No of trees cut back?.....0
Why can the users not be consulted on the measures?

I tend to agree. Its a little like the ISO 9000 accreditation - you can elect to be totally bad at something as long as you can then demonstrate that you are achieving your declared level of 'badness'.
I actually find the whole document bland and of little significant value other than as a PR exercise.
As for the users being consulted on the measures, they are in a way through the various user groups etc which include some boating representatives.
However, the fact remains that we are small beer and the EA themselves are largely acting as a containment exercise robbing Peter to pay Paul.
That said, they have achieved quite a lot in the last few years across the spectrum of improvement and maintenance even if its not all about the boating fraternity.
Hmmm ....... what sort of organisation actually counts how many pieces of literature it hands out to joe public? NAh...... has to be some sort of approximate guestimational estimate doesnt it?
