[Another new way to lose your Licence]

Ok I will bite,

 

What evidence do you have to support this assertion?

 

Boat names, dates/times places etc etc

Plenty -- written and verbal, with a big proportion from boat owners reluctant have their names published for fear of provoking C&RT to even greater excesses.

Do you write for the Dark Side - just asking?

 

A controversial 1st post.

Don't know who the Dark Side are -- is it the thoroughly nasty bunch called the Enforcement Team left over from the bad old days of British Waterways and now stopping at nothing to try and justify the huge cost of employing them.

C&RT are trying out a new form of nonsense which, if they get away with it, will mean that boat owners with home moorings who like to take regular or frequent weekend trips on the same stretch of waterway to an overnight mooring in the same vicinity as the week before will find their Licences under threat for alleged breaching of Clause 2.1 of the Licence T&C's. This Clause says you can moor for short periods whilst cruising, but C&RT are now claiming that regular and frequent returns to the same location is not "cruising" and so you are not complying with Clause 2,1. The Towpath Traffic Wardens are under instructions to record sightings on two different dates at the same place as evidence that a boat has not moved. Lets hope the DVLA don't pick up on the idea and threaten us all with losing our car Road Tax (Licence) if we park on,or use, the same stretch of road too often.
