It is getting harder to navigate the Severn in Shrewsbury, cruise operator Dilwyn Jones says.
Dilwyn Jones said he wanted to see more maintenance of the River Severn as issues like silt were hampering his businessA pleasure boat operator says he fears for the future of his cruises due to silt and other issues on the River Severn in Shrewsbury."We need to take action fairly soon otherwise it won't be navigable," he said.
Boat cruises have been run by Mr Jones in the town for 13 years, but he said a combination of flooding, current low water levels and silt had caused problems.The silt was making the river channel shallower and there was more vegetation which made navigation harder, he said. Concerns have also been raised over pollution in the waterway with a campaign under way to get the area designated as a bathing site.
