I like this bit:

 

*over the period spanning a boat’s annual licence boaters agree to achieve a range of movement that exceeds 20 km.

 

20 kilometers a year?

 

Isn't that a days cruise

Will read it latrer on a bigger screen, but agreeing to a 'minimum distance' to travel will be the end of it. That distance will always be arbitrary, like Richard says, 20 miles is a days cruising. And after this precedent, the next kminimum distance' will go up.

 

Do enjoy yourselves while it lasts, they seem hell bent on turning boating into a plaything for the rich with boats in marinas, only to sully the canal on bank holidays..

I have read this quickly and may have missed some details,however it does look as if CRT is actually trying quite hard to use discussion rather than heavy handed tactics.

Or maybe they want it to be a fascinating and historic transport system, not a social housing scheme?

*the need for boaters to leave space between boats to accommodate anglers is included in local guidance (as well as for reasons of fire safety).

OK , so is it that you need to move 12 miles in one direction per year ? I haven't got my Nicholsons with me but I think with the two week rule and giving the boundaries that you would have to move every two weeks would mean you doing way more than 12 miles over 26 moves . No mention of winter moving or for that matter winter moorings .

Reading through it, it seems fair enough.

 

 

I do like that K&A community website.

The layout makes it dead easy to find stuff out.

I recommend it to anyone staying down there for anytime.

Keeps you up to date with the stoppages and burglaries, events and meetings.
