BW has misrepresented its own statistics in order to make a case for the proposals finalised in the Local Mooring Strategies consultation. These proposals were based on analysis of statistics about “continuous cruisers” presented in the pre-consultation document Updating BW’s Online Mooring Policy (April 2009).
The national consultation has had about 200 responses and the local one only about 100, Damian Kemp of British Waterways revealed today.
That’s not many people nationwide who really give a toss?
Gosh.
But I posted 36 responses from you lot. And I know of some who sent theirs in independently by post or email after the meetings.
So well over a third of the consultation on Local Moorings Strategy responses were from local boaters. And at least 20% of the response to the National Consultation on Mooring Strategy.
Well done you.
