Following discussions with liveaboard boaters, Tim Harris, the Antisocial Behaviour Officer for BaNES has asked for video evidence of stag party hire boat crews causing damage to boats or behaving offensively or abusively. Please send any videos or written reports to
tim.harris@avonandsomerset.pnn.police.uk
Mr Harris also said that the Police have the power to stop a boat if a member of the public suspects the steerer is drunk, and that there have been prosecutions of people for being drunk in charge of a boat.
