Petition to stop the eviction of liveaboard boaters.........

[cuppa tee]

As we well know there is pressure in the housing market at this time
one option for affordable living has been to take to the waterways
this option is becoming increasingly difficult as the Canal and River Trust
seem determined to force those who live in boats into pricey marinas or
off the waterways completely. The CRT have a vested interest in this as they
own the marinas.............here is some background on the issue

Signed.

British Waterways were always trying to come up with solutions to the (perceived) problem of boaters without moorings.
Luckily they always seemed to lack the funding/staff to police their policies.

Are you the same cuppa tee who lived on a boat at C-------?

I get the impression that they see anyone without private mooring living full time on a boat is basically a water tramp and needs moving on\re-homing.

No, in fact I am not a liveaboard boater but I know a lot of liveaboards on the K and A and am very well aware of the assault
on their way of life by the CRT, nimby land dwellers and brass polishers
