We have a river? I'd love to be able to navigate around riverbanks, and see the wildlife etc.</p><p>As Jon above mentions, such a continuous feature is key; whenever we consider how many canals we have in the city, its a travesty that we don't have access to the river.</p>NeilWed, 04 Feb 2009 15:40:39 -0000
