The K&A Boaters’ Action Group’s next meeting is on Monday 9th April 2018 at 7.30pm at the George Inn, Bathampton BA2 6TR, right on the canal at bridge 183. All are welcome.
Among other things, the meeting aims to plan how to challenge CRT’s proposal to address “the significant growth in demand from boats without a home mooring in key locations, to fairly reflect the benefit experienced by those boaters without a home mooring in London and other highly popular locations”. Bath is listed by CRT as another of the “highly popular locations”.
This basically threatens a re-run of the discredited local mooring strategies. CRT’s proposal was announced in the final report on the year-long review of boat licensing. This would affect a large number of liveaboards on the K&A and beyond.
Please also come to the meeting if you need any information about CRT enforcement against boaters without home moorings or if you need advice about CRT enforcement letters, texts or emails.
The Boaters’ Action Group aims to defend and promote the boating community on the K&A. Please contact info@boatingcommunity.org.uk or 07928 078208. We look forward to seeing you on 9th April.
The George Inn is under new management and welcomes the boating community.
