Moorings Consultation
Well the mooring consultation periods are finished.
Deep breath folks….. It’s not over yet by a long way.
If, as is believed, the local strategy is a done deal British Waterways are now moving into forming the steering groups.
Monday, February 22nd, 2010
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.

If you failed to get your local consultation response in by this Monday 11th, you will be glad to hear that following a number of complaints BW have extended the deadline to the 31st January, the same deadline as the national consultation.
So no more excuses, get that response emailed or posted as soon as you can.
