The Commissioners of Public Works have no responsibility for maintenance of the river in the area concerned.

The Commissioners have a maintenance responsibility for part of the river a considerable distance downstream of the area. That channel, which is part of an important fishery, was last maintained in 1993 and is scheduled for maintenance again next year subject to consultation with the regional fisheries.
