The Broads

The Broads are a network of mostly navigable rivers and lakes in the English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. The lakes, known locally as broads, were formed by the flooding of peat workings. The Broads, and some surrounding land, were constituted as a special area with a level of protection equivalent to a national park by the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads Act 1988. The Broads Authority, a special statutory authority responsible for managing the area, became operational in 1989.〔The Broads Authority. ''(The Broads Act )''. Retrieved 23 January 2006.〕
The total area is , most of which is in Norfolk, with over of navigable waterways. There are seven rivers and 63 broads, mostly less than deep. Thirteen broads are generally open to navigation, with a further three having navigable channels. Some broads have navigation restrictions imposed on them in autumn and winter.〔Living Lakes Partnership (1998–2005). ''(The Broads, England )''. Retrieved 23 January 2006.〕
Although the terms Norfolk Broads and Suffolk Broads are used to identify specific areas within the two counties respectively, the whole area is frequently mistakenly referred to as the "Norfolk Broads". The Broads has similar status to the national parks in England and Wales; the Broads Authority has powers and duties akin to the national parks, but is also the third-largest inland navigation authority. Because of its navigation role the Broads Authority was established under its own legislation on 1 April 1989. The Broads Authority Act 2009, which was promoted through Parliament by the authority, is intended to improve public safety on the water.
==National Park status==
In January 2015 the Authority approved a change in name of the area to the Broads National Park in recognition of the fact that the status of the area is equivalent to the rest of the national parks. This followed a three-month consultation which resulted in support from 79% of consultees, including unanimous support from the 14 other members of the UK national park family and the Campaign for National Parks. Defra, the Government department responsible for the parks, also expressed it was content that the Authority would make its own decision on the matter. This is the subject of ongoing controversy among some Broads users who note that the Broads are not constituted as a National Park and claim the re-branding detracts from the fundamentally maritime nature of the Broads.
