Hi everyone! I’m a postgraduate student from Oxford University, and I’m doing research on the experiences of people living afloat in London.
I am particularly interested in questions of infrastructure - both at the broader scale of to what extent the CRT is succeeding in providing sufficient facilities and moorings for boaters, but also how boaters maintain their homes day-to-day with regards to water supply, disposing of toilet waste, heating boats, etc. in ways which are unique to life afloat.
I hope that my thesis will generate insight and relevant recommendations for policy. If you would be interested to share your experiences of boating, or even to air any grievances you have about boating facilities, please drop me a message. I would love to chat with you about it.
Thank you,
Jacinta
