We are inviting anyone with a keen interest in water related recreation, sports and leisure pursuits to take part in an online consultation to tell us what they think of our findings so far for water related recreation in London and the South East.
We would welcome your support in encouraging as many people as possible to review the findings at www.brighton.ac.uk/waterrecreation between 5 July and 30 September and share their thoughts.
In London and the South East demand for water related recreation is high and participation is set to increase but there are gaps in provision and some people are unable to access opportunities.
As part of the Environment Agency’s role in maintaining and improving the environment we have been working with consultants, Brighton University and a wide range of partners, including sporting andgoverning bodies, health professionals, conservation agencies, landowners, local authorities and grassroots organisations to develop a water-related recreation plan, called Enjoying Water to address the gaps and increasing demand.
Following a series of workshops we have gathered a range of views on current and future provision from over 220 recreation users and managers of water based activities and drawn up a set of draft priorities for the region. We are now launching an online consultation for people with an interest in water-related recreation to comment on the findings and, to answer a number of specific questions.
The final Enjoying Water plan will be used to ensure that any future decisions around water-related recreation are focussed on the priorities identified and thereby based on sound local information and evidence.
We hope you will support us by encouraging people to get involved and help us to shape local water-related recreation across London and the South East.
Yours sincerely
Toby Willison

Canoe England Club Facilities Survey
Current indications are that there will be a lot more people participating in Paddlesport come 2020! But do we have the capacity in our facilities to cope? Is your club already full to the brim? What is the current state of your club facility? Do you have one - or do you use local council facilities? Or do you simply go wherever is best for your type of paddling?
We are therefore keen to find out about the current state and usage of our facilities so that we can provide evidence to key partners and funders to support investment in our sport. With government cuts looming over sport, funding for facilities is bound to be reduced - so all the more reason for us to make a good case now for what we require so we can help you in the future.
To do this we need your help! We have produced a survey which aims to capture just what facilities are used by canoeists at our clubs. To start the survey, please click here. All respondents will be entered into a draw for £100 of Cotswold Outdoor Vouchers. The deadline for all responses is Friday 20 August 2010.
