Negative experience: I did not expect illegal drugs and alcohol to be part of the kitty wake boat tour experience. As a local resident, i walk along the beautiful tow paths on a regular basis. I was taken by absolute astonishment to see this canal boat blasting music out and people jumping off onto the canal bank to urinate on the tow path. The people travelling on the boat were smoking cannabis and throwing empty beer cans and bottles into the canal. This is a total disgrace to allow this type of behavior on our beautiful canals. I will be contacting the council and the police to report this. There must be a licence holder for this boat or company to be responsible. If any one can advise who is responsible for this unprofessional cowboy boat ride company that is polluting our beautiful canal ways.
