Just a few cables from Boulters Lock

On 1st April 2014 the Environment Agency current website information will be amalgamated into the www.gov.uk government site.
I have quoted the full message received from the EA but if you would like to go straight to the relevant section concerning Inland Waterways where you can see their intentions and comment go here:

We are moving to GOV.UK
In spring 2014 the Environment Agency will be moving its web content from our existing website www.environment-agency.gov.uk to www.gov.uk. We are currently expecting this change to happen on the 1 April 2014. Once our content has moved across to GOV.UK our existing website will close and a copy of the content will be sent to the National Archives.
The Environment Agency’s new homepage address on GOV.UK will be www.gov.uk/environment-agency. This homepage will not link to all Environment Agency content. To go directly to the information you require on GOV.UK you will need to use an internet search engine or the search function on GOV.UK.
Our information will look different as it will be rewritten and designed in the style of GOV.UK, why not take a look at www.gov.uk now!
If you have saved any of our web pages as bookmarks or favorites on your computer, these will still work and will take you to the same content in its new home.
Why the Environment Agency is moving to GOV.UK
Government is currently developing a single government website (www.gov.uk), which gives the public and businesses access to information and transactional services of departments, agencies and arm’s length bodies. GOV.UK is dedicated to serving customers by responding to their needs - giving simpler, clear and faster access to government information and services. GOV.UK saves the public money by reducing the number of publicly-funded government body websites.
Waterways web content
The Environment Agency has been working with Defra to simplify web pages and documents on boating and waterways. This work is part of a project which aims to make it easier for people to find the information they need from government bodies. Waterways web content is going through this process now before our information is added to GOV.UK.

Give us your views:
We would like to hear your views on our plans to simplify the waterways information that we publish on our website. You can comment from now until 21 February 2014 by following this link http://guidanceanddata.defra.gov.uk/reforming-freshwater-management-guidance/. The plans give a summary of the information we intend to publish in the future. You can also give your views on what should happen to the documents and web pages you use now. Most of the web content that currently exists will be rewritten to make it easier to understand what people need to do to comply with waterways rules and requirements.
Please submit all your feedback through the above website link, as this will be fed back directly into the review project. Any feedback sent directly to us will not be included.

Oh, FFS, it was a right blurry shambles when VisitThames was chucked out and the EA site dumped much of the useful info.

The Gov site is diabolical to search.

Another nail in the coffin.

Pah!!
