I think what happend was that he MCA was given authority over inshore and inland in 2003, but nobody looked into the inland side of it, saying nothing is the same as agreeing with it. Then BW woke up, way too late to see that the MCA are now ruling over their patch. We`re now caught in the middle, with no direction from either. BW could finish the trade licence for boats and issue a towpath trading licence, which would take us out from under the MCA, back to the control of BW. Garry
