		<description><![CDATA[A boater recently made a Freedom of Information request about the number of boats BW had either taken to court or removed following a CC3 letter. The CC3 is the letter which terminates the boat licence in what BW like to call the &#8220;Continuous cruising procedure&#8221;. The boater asked the following questions  “How many boats have been issued with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There have been a number of accusations recently that boaters do not pay Council Tax and so should not benefit from local services. This is incorrect. British Waterways pays the Government a composite levy in respect of Council Tax and Business Rates. This is collected centrally and the income is used to offset general central [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Department for Communities and Local Government  (DCLG) has given its opinion that &#8216;bargee travellers&#8217; are covered by Section 225 of the Housing Act 2004 which defines who is a traveller.

		<description><![CDATA[A simple piece of law that has caused endless discussion both before and after its inception.
