Bluebird Project Consultation
Bluebird Project Draft Byelaw Consultation
1 February 2010: Latest news
In 2008 the team rebuilding Bluebird K7 asked the Lake District National Park Authority to consider amending the Coniston Water byelaws, to allow the craft to undertake proving trials in excess of 10mph. The existing Byelaws wouldn’t allow this to happen.
Following a public consultation in Spring 2009 we agreed to allow the Bluebird Project to hold a one-off event on Coniston Water for a proving trial of the re-built Bluebird, subject to specific conditions related to:
- timing of the event
- health and safety
- environmental considerations, including risks of water and noise pollution
We have now re-drafted the Coniston Water byelaws to allow the Bluebird trials to take place.
