Bw are planning to evict us from our mooring site at Sawley cut river Trent We have spoken to our MP David Taylor (Lab) NW Leicestershire, who paid us a visit at our moorings and is giving us his support . He has asked us to get a petition started to show peoples disapproval of Bw's plans, this we have started at local level with pen and paper . I have now started an online petition in the hope of receiving an extra amount of support. If you have an online mooring under Bw this policy effects you Because as new marinas open across the network for every 10 offline births created 1 online moorer will be evicted, so in our case pillings marina has opened on the river Soar with 280 births so Bw are evicting 28 fully paid up moorers in a 30 mile radius ! Bw could have approached this with a voluntary method or natural wastage but No they have taken a confrontational approach. Why not just go in the marina I here you ask ? well firstly its miles away ! Marinas have a minimum charge on births so small boat owners pay a premium to moor there! Some of the boats at Sawley are residential and Pillings does not have planning permission for them. As more and more marina developments are planned across the system if you moor online this does effect you ! So lets stop Bw now !!!
