Please note that, if I am not mistaken, this laudable capability, to cross fund the Navigation Account from the General Account, is scrapped in the Bill. One may well ask why and what benefit this brings to the Broads. The CEO's reaction to the Navigation Committee's stance on tolls was unedifying, especially as his threats to reduce rangers & patrols had already been implemented. Or does he intend to reduce rangers still further? Phil was right, as usual - cutting admin overhead must come first and that overhead is colossal.

Speak as you find, I say. I have used the Maltsters infrequently for aeons and just a few times since the new landlords took over. We visited recently and it was not unpleasant: beer was OK, a friendly enough crowd and a pleasant atmosphere. So, not too bad. However, one thing seemed strange to us & that was that, on a cold winter's night, there was no fire. How much warmer the atmosphere would have been with a real fire! Things aren't perfect and the place may never be our kind of pub but Tony & Penny have definitely made an improvement. http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=19&Topic=14330&srow=126&erow=136 RichardB@the-norfolk-broads.co.uk (RichardB) Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:03:08 PST Pubs and Restaurants http://www.the-norfolk-broads.co.uk/replytotopic.cfm?Forum=19&Topic=14330 Well I think it looks truly awful. No, things don't always have to stay the same, but iconic buildings like Hunsett Mill House deserve better than this. Tasteful refurbishment or even a sympathetic extension would have been fine, but this speaks of money, but no taste. I am surprised and disappointed at North Norfolk County Council and the BA for condoning this so called development.

It was a truly wonderful boat, far superior to most of the hire fleet, but Brooms did have very high standards. We almost felt we were being interviewed as to our suitability when we went to Brooms to book it.
