swingbridge Here is another lead for you to look into .The Broads Authority has a big say in what happens on the broads e.g.They check all the time if it is safe for racing to take place e.g.if the water is lapping over the first section of the concrete due to spring tides combined  with high winds, the Broads Authority wil prevent the racing going ahead.They have a big say on safety. The barriers are secured with stainless steel  safety bands so they cant be interfered with, moved or chucked into the broads by yobs.To take them down after every race would probobly take two men a full day to remove the bands and the barriers and then the expense off putting new steel bands on when they go up again This is probobly why they are left in place for the season .Unfortunately for some it is the way of life today

Nice theory but during the season alst year the barrier s got pushed abut and the steel bands conetcting them together got broken and nobody did anythinf to repair or replace them Probably fishermen like me annoyed by them getting int he way Result is an ebven bigger mess

Fair enough if they need to be there for safety then put them up for the race but take them down afetrweards so we can all enjoy the park as mr everit intended between races if it take a lot of effort than get volunteers to do it Fonep are asking for volunteers perhaps this is something for them to do
