BW have now published their "Final Conclusions" to the Fee Structure conundrum at:
http://www.britishwaterways.co.uk/images/Fee_Structure_for_Licences_in_Engla nd_and_Wales.pdf Seems Ok for the time being for all concerned private boaters - more or less a status quo situation as long as the "lawful keeper" (licence holder) is a private individual. OwnerShips boaters stand by for your missive from Allen Matthews clarifying the extent of the hoops this provides for you to jump through as OwnerShips will no longer be able to apply for your boats licence for you, bearing in mind the impact of 4.b). The interesting point is their second conclusion, where they seem to be saying they will still work toward a situation where amount of use is the driving factor in licence costs in the longer term. Common sense seems to have prevailed, which is good to see. Regards Steve Goodsell (1/12th Osprey) -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
