Good news (I think ?) I had a letter this morning from Caroline Killeavy informing us that they are retracting the previous closure notice as BW are now reducing online moorings by the fairer means of natural wastage, as moorings become vacant BW will not re let them (Will this affect their tendering practice I wonder ?).
All moorers at Sawley will be on full long term status ! Now for the fly in the ointment and to quote CK herself "Whilst it is still our intension to CLOSE Sawley cut to Long term moorers , we are offering all boaters currently moored there a Long term mooring permit UNTIL we are able to identify suitable alternatives for them " So BW east midlands waterways who have said all along that the closure of the moorings at Sawley was just National policy and out of their hands, Now the National policy has changed they are saying they want to close the moorings anyway ? Well Thank you to everyone for their support we managed 324 signatures on the petition This Victory is the end of the old fight but the begining of the new fight to SAVE SAWLEY CUT MOORINGS !
