  1. Frankly, I don’t understand why Lakeland run marinas. I know a few people with boats at Tattenhall and the general feeling seems to be that they have absolutely no understanding of boats or the boating community. They’ve just decided to stop providing any boat repairs or maintenance service from November, laying off allegedly one of the best workshop teams on the canal system in the process. What use is a marina without any boat maintenance? It means that anyone with a boat there now has to call in outsiders to do the work. What’s more, they do this just before the winter season when most boaters are planning on laying up their boats and getting all those jobs done that need doing in the off season. This, coupled with the fact that the marina itself is so poorly maintained that the jetties have become a death trap, especially during winter. They are slippery and unstable and it’s only a matter of time before someone slips and falls and is seriously injured or worse. Couple that with grassed areas that are poorly if ever mowed and pathways that, on the rare occasions when the grass is mowed, become slippery with their own covering of uncleared grass clippings. Their entire focus seems to be on the restaurant side of the business. They are used to running caravan parks and see boats as floating caravans and don’t understand the differing requirements between the two. There are rumours floating around Tattenhall village now are that they are planning to expand the marina out to add a caravan park and village as well which will further reduce their interest in the boating side of the business. They would be best off buying a chain of restaurants and being done with that.
