Leisure Moorings and Doctors

[Trillian]

It has been suggested that I create a new thread with my query.

 

I have been looking for residential moorings for our two boats as my youngest needs to be registered at a doctors for ongoing care. We currently have leisure moorings that have a very strict NO post delivery at all in any circumstances which is fair enough. I have believed that this is true of all leisure moorings and so have been looking exclusively at residential moorings. Does anyone have any experience of living on a leisure mooring and getting post delivered and being registered at a local doctors? If it is possible then it would open up our options considerably as as you can probably imagine trying to get moorings for two boats is a little on the difficult side.

 

Many thanks for any help/advice.

Hope you get some good advice. Would you mind saying which part of the country you are in? It may help with potential mooring suggestions.

Warble Wharf would be OK with post etc, and you would be able to moor your 2 boats breasted up

If post is the only issue you can use a Mailboxes etc address for doctor's letters. There's a charge but it'll be a local address, unlike using a Boatmail type service.

We've managed to register at local doctors using the local post office as a c/o address. Helps to have a very understanding and helpful surgery though.

 

I'm sure they could make it a lot more difficult if they weren't so helpful. Our local doctor's surgery went out of the way to find a solution for us. Even the midwife and health visitors were happy to visit us at different address to postal one.

Can I have my passport and my driving licence in this mailbox address?

The scanning mailbox looks a great idea, they even bin junk mail automatically, eg double junk from Talk Talk every month.

You dont need an address for a passport, go to passport office and collect.

I used to have a po box address on my driving licence, but think they stopped that now.
