  1. I read a book years ago,about the days of the "real boaters"...The gypsies told their children not to associate with the boat children,as they were below them!..We all need someone to vilify!!..?
  2. If they can afford a "residential" mooring in Cambridgeshire.They can pay their own legal fees as far as I am concerned!.?
  3. Sorry I'm late to the post!...It lives in the marina,pretty sure there's 2 of them in there...No engines,they are for accommodation only.
  4. Thinking of starting a "Go Fund Me" page.So I can move off my boat into a house,and then do a podcast about what it's like living in a house.(I may have a year off to hitch around Europe).?
  5. Wait until the toilet system goes wrong...That's when it gets PRIMAL!.?
  6. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  7. Get a big dog that loves swimming in the cut!?
  8. This is the boaters case...From their web page: A Marina in Cambridgeshire has 45 berth holders living on floating caravans and lodges as well as mooring for vessels including narrow boats and cruisers. Approximately 100 people live on the Marina as their permanent residence and the majority pay council tax. The Marina owners purchased the Marina 4 years ago, knowing full well that there were residential berth holders, some of which have a CLEUD (Certificate of Lawfulness for an Existing Use of a Development) granted by the District Council which means the property is occupied as a sole or main residence and not just as holiday accommodation. In spite of several requests over the years, the owners refuse to give the residential berth holders a proper residential contract stating “we are not a residential marina”. They insist on giving us a mooring agreement which applies to vessels only stating that they can give us 28 days’ notice to leave if they so desired. They have now given notice to three berth holders, two residential and one second home owner stating that the pontoon to which the individual dwellings are attached is beyond economical repair and they now must leave. For the residential berth holders this is their home, their only asset and the Marina will ostensibly make their dwelling worthless and the berth holders homeless. We collected enough funds to instruct a solicitor and two barristers, one with experience in Land and the other Consumer Rights to give us advice. They feel that we have a strong case as we come under the Mobile Home Act and therefore are protected with security of tenure and also protected under consumer legislation as to an unfair contract. Our solicitor wrote to the Marina owners giving them until the 17th November 2020 to respond, asking for mediation. They have responded denying our claim. Without any statutory structure or change in UK legislation for Marinas as a whole, all residential berth holders throughout the country are vulnerable. This, we feel, is going to go all the way to Court. The Marina owners have a very large pot of money to fight these cases, we don’t, this is why we are asking for crowd funding to argue our case. There are many residential berth holders all over the country who do not have security of tenure and all we ask is for a fair contract which is not loaded in favour of the Marina owners. If you feel you could help us, then please donate to enable us and residential berth holders all over the UK to have a secure future with a fair deal. Thank you so much in advance for your support.

  12. Any improvement to the system is a good thing ?...But please...no more signs! ?
  13. F.Y.I. *Now is the time to refuse your consent to the proposed new CRT Boat Licence Terms and Conditions* Now that the CRT consultation on changes to the Boat Licence Terms and Conditions has ended, please take part in the next stage of the campaign to stop CRT bringing in these unlawful, unreasonable and excessive changes. Please email CRT’s Chief Executive - richard.parry@canalrivertrust.org.uk and copy it to customer.feedback@canalrivertrust.org.uk - with the following message: Dear Mr Parry, I do not understand, consent to or accept the proposed changes to the Canal & River Trust Boat Licence Terms and Conditions that were set out in the consultation held between September and December 2020. Yours sincerely ….. You can send a letter to Richard Parry, Chief Executive, Canal & River Trust, First Floor North, Station House, 500 Elder Gate, Milton Keynes MK9 1BB. Thank you. The NBTA has made a formal complaint objecting to the proposals and setting out the reasons why the proposals are unlawful, unreasonable or excessive, which we will publish shortly.
  14. F.Y.I. Received from N.B.T.A. Although it is not the NBTA’s core mission, we support the struggles of boat dwellers who live on moorings. The residential berth holders at Hartford marina on the River Great Ouse are fighting eviction notices sent to three residents. They are raising money for a legal challenge that could create better conditions for all residential berth holders in the UK, most of whom do not have any security of tenure. If you would like to contribute, please see https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/a-fair-contract-for-uk-residen/
  15. F.Y.I. Received from N.B.T.A. *Boat movements suspended in Tier 4 and Wales Covid-19 lockdowns* Following the Government announcement on 20th December some parts of England are now in a new Tier 4 of Covid-19 restrictions equivalent to lockdown, and Wales is in lockdown. This means that only essential boat movements by liveaboard boaters are permitted, such as for food shopping, medical treatment, or to fill up with water, empty toilets etc. Leisure boaters cannot visit or use their boats. This applies to all waterways in Tier 4 areas and in Wales. At present we have information from Canal & River Trust (CRT) about boat movements in Tier 4 areas and Wales, but not from other navigation authorities. CRT says: “… moving every 14 days will be suspended in Tier 4 and Wales until the restrictions come to an end” and that boaters should avoid travelling into or out of Tier 3 areas, but boaters are still required to move every 14 days within Tier 3. For information about which Tier different areas in England are in see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/full-list-of-local-restriction-tiers-by-area
