Must be some merit to this. I know of some waste recycling sites that employ an automatic commercial version of green laser to get rid of seagulls.....with great success apparently ?

I live on my boat and have a Marina mooring (although I spend a fair bit of time out on the cut) and to imply that I am "avoiding council tax" is a bit harsh to be honest. I would gladly pay, but as Mike has pointed out, there is NO method in place for me to do this. All the council has to do is give my mooring residential status (some moorings have it, some don't) then bill me.......job done ? In my defence I do pay CT on my house to the same council but that is by the way.......

I would agree with Tapton lock but tis still isolated so you can't navigate "to it" from the rest of the network. We do Retford to Misterton quite regular and agree being an SSSI is no hinderance at all. In fact we are just about to set off from Retford so will be passind your boat shortly ?? I don't know if you saw the photo of your boat alongside Python in West Stockwith lock? But it was me that took it ( before anyone starts I know that is bad grammer ?)

I have probably missed something here (nowt new there then ) But why have the trust scrapped something that was quite clearly very popular ?? Maybe I have answered my own question but I would like to know the reasoning behind it.........

What boat is it ?? We are based on the Chesterfield Just being nosey you understand ??

I was there last week doing some work but managed to spend a very enjoyable night in the "Cavern Club"
