Sunday, December 7th, 2014‘Generic solutions’ or final solutions? Our analysis of CRT’s briefing paper on ‘Non Compliant Continuous Cruising’
Sunday, January 6th, 2013On 25 October 2012, the same day that the K and A Local Waterway Partnership held its first moorings sub-group meeting to review the local mooring strategy proposals, CRT published plans to continue eroding the rights of CRT licence holders to use the waterways without a home mooring under Section 17 3 c ii of the 1995 British Waterways Act. The briefing paper was produced for the CRT Council meeting on 27 September 2012. CRT Council, which contains a minority of boater representatives most of whom have connections with the IWA, endorsed the plan. We reproduce the briefing below with our comments marked in bold.
