Are you sure? I would think that arson must involve other people's property, not one's own.
Some might say that he's been arson about for years, but I could not comment.
Simple arson involves the property of someone else.
Aggrevated arson can include your own property.

This is exactly what happened at shardlow marina. They have tried to expand it recently using the same trick. Apparently it was the council that stopped the expansion happening not crt. What I don’t understand is how all the people living in static caravans there get away with not paying council tax?
How do you know they don't?
I know of a couple of sites around here where they do pay Council Tax, at band A.7 hours ago, Higgs said:The NAA contract will need to be challenged. Marinas and moorers need to be given a choice. But while under contract, a marina is obliged.
So why don't you challenge it?
"Mouth and Trousers" comes to mind!-

Cobblers.
customer

a person who buys goods or a service:

Thinking about it, I do pay as I am a tax payer so part of that goes towards CaRT.

Not so. If I go and sit in a café for an hour and don't buy anything, that doesn't make me a customer.
Fatuous and stupid comparison!

I realise that your comments are tongue-in-cheek - but walkers nd cyclists can't be classified as "customers" because they don't pay anything.
You omitted fishermen, a user group not universally loved by other user groups, but who at least make a financial contribution towards the waterways' upkeep.
Customers are anybody who use a facility, whether they have to pay for it or not. Therefore I am a customer when I walk along the Mon & Brecon or any other canal.

Looking at the wording of the Restaint Order against him, it would appear that his current threat of using the fork to stab people goes against that Order, so he could be held in contempt. It is not unusual for Contempt cases to be imprisoned, even for a short time. That could remove part of the problem

The OP says UK canals, so it should fit the Caledonian and Crinan, but not sure about the lowland canals.
And the Sharpness.

Get the gate in motion and then push further open with long pole
only need to get the gate open enough for your boat to fit through
pull shut with chain
SWING BRIDGES, which is what was being discussed, don't have gates!

I presume you are thinking of living aboard full time; in that case will Hemel Marina allow that?

Pinders Shed is just by the letters TRO (of Armstrong) on the map.
Yes the arm I mentioned is the outlet for the Pumphouse but I am quite sure that was where they were building boats as well. -
I've looked through my photos and can't find anything either.
This is the arm I'm thinking of and yes there was a wobbly bridge across the head of it:
Found this on the web which I think is the same shed.:
From this thread:

We lived in Worcester from 1978 to 2003 and often walked down the canal and around Diglis Dock and I do remember the shed I mentioned having wide beam steel hulls in it, as well as narrow boats. Just can't remember what the business name was.
If I remember rightly they built in the shed to the side and either sideslipped them in or had a big industrial crane in the building.

Weren't Viking Marine the hire boat company that were based in Lowesmoor Basin?
We were hiring from them the week they went bust and never got our deposit back. -
Was this the company that for a time were down in the shed in the arm that runs parallel to the two locks down into the river, on the other side of the Lock Keepers house?
(To the left of "Cafe Afloat in this map)

With 2 crossings of the A483 trunk road between Llanymynach and Welshpool having been obliterated I cannot see that section ever being reopened.
Waterways Wales are currently doing some work on the isolated section opposite Garthmyl Hall. -
There is a slight flow in and out of the relevant section of the Monty. I think the only section that doesn't have any appreciable flow is the last section alongside the A483 just outside Newtown, where Abermule Lock is.

Not in anyway original Mr. D please try harder......
I honestly could not imagine a worse night out sat in a pub with a decent pint but being subject to your gobbing off about boats, canals, licence fees, solar, composting toilets, the meaning of life, brexit etc etc...
I would seriously lose the will to live after 10 mins. during which you would talk over me and everybody else.
How about replacing Mr D with a "certain other member"? -

That would be me, loads of times
We've been both hirers and share boat owners, which is why I wondered why it hadn't been included. -
Perhaps the poll should also include those that have hired boats.

I take it thats the Mon and Breck
No, the M & B used to come out at Newport.
The canal at Cardiff was the Glamorgan Canal and that was obliterated many, many years ago.
There has been a narrow boat moored on the pontoons at (I think) Penarth Marina, and was pictured here some time ago.
As for taking a narrow boat out of Cardiff and onto the main system, even via the Avon at Bristol, is a journey that needs much experience and very suitable weather and tides.
I see Wye Invader has done Cardiff to Portishead once, but they are VERY adventurous! -
I think some photos might help.

I'm intrigued why LadyG thinks she needs such a thing.

I don’t think you can purchase a Poste Restante service.
I understand Poste Restante is a free service for short/temporary use. usually a few weeks, perhaps a month? it’s at the discretion of the Post Office Manager
Whether you can purchase another service I don’t know, or whether the Post Office kind of ‘turns a blind eye’ with a regular customer is something else.
but no I don’t believe you can purchase a Poste Restante address.
I didn't suggest you purchased anything, and you can have it for 3 months.

It does like a few people have assumed that CaRT haven't renewed but without knowing the facts it is impossible to answer, and I suspect that a FoI request to either party would be declined. Personally I suspect the Council haven't offered the renewal to them.
