Hi Tony

I would consider setting up a 301 redirect for all the urls you have mentioned to your www.ckpoole.co.uk/ this will take care of the issues you have mentioned and it will pass link juice from the others and help increase the authority of that page essentially amalgamating it all into one - 301 redirect will pass 90-99% of link juice from each url helping increase authority.

look at this for more: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/redirection

You must make sure that all your navigation points to that version of the page as well and not /index.html for instance.

For your canonical tags question SEOMoz doesn't pick this up when doing a crawl even if you have done it correctly and search engines will recognise it see  SEOMoz staff responses here -
