A Core Group of K and A boaters held its first meeting on May 2nd in Bradford on Avon. The group’s aims are to keep informed of relevant information and developments that affect liveaboard boaters on the K and A;
Mooring Strategy Committee
K and A Boaters set up “Core Group”
Saturday, May 26th, 2012Local Mooring Strategy proposals to include roving mooring permit
Sunday, May 20th, 2012Date for installing temporary facilities at Dundas announced at user meeting
Saturday, May 5th, 2012Several boaters attended the Kennet and Avon User Group meeting on May 3rd and among other information, found out that temporary facilities at Dundas would be installed on May 14th; that drought restrictions are still in force, and that the Local Mooring Strategy proposals were due to be reviewed by the Local Waterway Partnership. Two boaters sent a report:
Local Mooring Strategy consultation planned for May to September
Wednesday, April 4th, 2012BaNES traveller policy may include boat dwellers
Thursday, March 1st, 2012BW never intended K and A mooring strategy meetings to continue
Monday, February 27th, 2012On 28 November 2011, BW’s Damian Kemp informed members of the Local Mooring Strategy Steering Group by email that there would be no more meetings and that BW would complete the Mooring Strategy in-house. Yet this message has turned out to be entirely dishonest – BW had already planned in September 2011 that the October 2011 meeting was to be the last.

Friday, February 17th, 2012BW release draft mooring strategy proposals

BW has asked for responses from Steering Group members prior to putting the finalised proposals out to consultation. Watch out for boaters’ meetings soon to make sure you have your say about it. BW’s summary of the proposals and the unaffiliated boaters’ response is below.
