Waterways facilities going - it's cut and dried

The cuts are creeping in. This notice from Waterscape.com reveals that BW is not going to repair or replace a broken washing machine and drier at Anderton on the Trent and Mersey. Is this the pattern for the rest of the system?

Advice: Trent & Mersey Canal‏

Anderton Service Block

Friday 18 March 2011 until further notice
The washing machine and drier at the service block have been broken for some time. Estimates for repair are well in excess of any resource allocated and there are no funds available to purchase new replacements. The machines have been removed and the decision has been taken not to replace them.

Alternative facilities exist in the Northwich area, British Waterways apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
