Paper copies of the Wiltshire Council boat dwellers survey are available for those who need them. You can collect a copy from Bradford on Avon, Devizes or Pewsey libraries. They will also be available on the Boaters’ Cafe Club outreach boat run by Julian House Gypsy, Traveller, Boater & Roma Community Support Service, which will be at Bradford Lower Wharf next Tuesday 5th September 12pm to 4pm. There may also be some distributed from boats in the Long Pound. Please pass this news on to anyone you know who might need it.
CRT have finally backed down in their latest high profile case against a long time liveaboard.
Some may be aware, or can catch up on t’net, of CRT’s attempts to get court sanction for 1.

This is stated in the Kennet and Avon Plan.
