And there's no such thing as an end of garden mooring that would exclude you from being obliged to pay for your use of the canal system. It doesn't exist, but the suggested £20.00 a night mooring for you - a nice £140.00 a week for a little cruise. That'd rip right into your state pension.

Unless the charging of a suppliment is removed from CC'ers and the whole pricing is once again spread throughout, I see the present set up as ultimately shooting the boating community in the foot.

It extends to that right in some home-moorer's minds. How are you going to deal with the situation of moorers in marinas, who have no contract with CRT. Not even their licence is valid in the marina waters.

Exclusive is exclusive. A right to moor where no one else has a right to moor. It still doesn't extend contractually as a paid-for right to the 2,000 miles of the cut.
