  1. The government always gets in Arthur.
  2. The fundamental issue is that those who were running BWB prior to 2012 campaigned successfully to become a charity independent of Government which they considered to be an improvement. The 15 year grant was consideted to be much better than the annual deficit grant it replaced. The trustees at the time resolved that they could take on the waterways on that basis. They made a virtue of being free from government 'constraints'. Now they complain about it and are campaigning for it to continue. They made a huge error.
  3. The DEFRA objective of eventually removing public (ie government) financial support was contained in a formal signed Memorandum of Understanding completed alongside the statutory transfer and grant agreements. See Annex 8 in attached. Canal-rivers-MOU.pdf
  4. What do you mean by "quitting the Weaver"? All the article says is they are trying to sell a large piece of property they used to occupy.
  5. https://www.northwichguardian.co.uk/news/23931791.canal-river-trust-puts-navigation-yard-sale/
  6. If you had read the whole of sec 43 a little further you would have come across the following - "(8) The services and facilities referred to in subsection (3) of this section include, in the case of the British Waterways Board [F17and Canal & River Trust], the use of any inland waterway owned or managed by them by any ship or boat." Is that clear enough for you?
  7. I think you are overlooking sec 43 of the Transport Act 1962 which gave BWB (and by statutory transfer) CRT the right to make charges and apply terms & conditions to the use of vessels on their waterways. This provision was not repealed by the 1995 Act which therefore only added aditional provisions to the issuing a boat licences rather than replacing those made in previous acts of parliament.
  8. No I'm bored now and you don't deserve any help for being offensive.
  9. You originally said the licence had been suspended not revoked. Make your mind up.
  10. Eh? 8 deals with Payment and 13 with Navigation Stoppages and Closures.
  11. Looks like CRT have invoked clause 12.3 of their T&Cs viz:- 12.3. If You repeatedly breach these Conditions, fail to pay for the Licence or We reasonably believe that there is serious risk to people's health and safety, or of damage to any property or pollution, We may do one of the following: 12.3.1. immediately suspend Your Licence. We will investigate to decide whether the breach can be put right. Whilst Your Licence is suspended You may not use the Boat to navigate on Our Waterways. The Boat must remain moored where We tell You whilst We investigate. We will tell You when and if the Boat can leave this mooring location. You may move the Boat before We complete Our investigation if You remove it from Our Waterways; or 12.3.2. terminate Your Licence immediately. This can happen if We decide the breach cannot be put right. We will also terminate the Licence when the number of repeated breaches is unreasonable and/or likely to risk the health and safety of others. We will not refund any suspension period or remaining licence period if the Licence is terminated under this Condition 12.3.
