Volunteers are needed for leafleting and engagement against the surcharge, this Saturday 29th June 2024! Join us to leaflet the public to gain support and explain how CRT is unfairly targeting boaters without a home mooring and why the surcharge is unjust and a huge risk to our community and way of life. We need people to hand out leaflets, talk to members of the public, get petition signatures, and hold banners and placards. Meet us above Bradford Lock at 10am or find us nearby.

CRT is planning to levy a ‘surcharge’ on boats licensed without a home mooring, which will start at 5% of the licence fee in April 2024 and increase to 25% by 2028. This could price us off the waterways and eliminate our nomadic way of life. There will be a national protest march on CRT Chief Executive Richard Parry’s office at Cambrian Wharf in central Birmingham to oppose the surcharge on our community. The march is organised by the National Bargee Travellers Association (NBTA).
