Wiltshire Council is carrying out an assessment of the housing needs of people who use a boat as their main home and is inviting boat dwellers both with and without a home mooring in Wiltshire to complete a survey. If you are permanently or temporarily in Wiltshire, or you travel through Wiltshire please take part. The survey is online and the Council is also going to make paper copies available. We will publicise how you can get a paper copy as soon as possible.

Until recently we have sent notice of new posts to everyone who subscribes to the site but it has been pointed out that this may discourage people from posting comments. So we have moved to an ‘ opt-in’ system.
