Hello,

Anyone know about CaRT trying to introduce roving mooring permits in the Cowley and Uxbridge area...

Firstly, CRT are not trying to introduce roving permits in Uxbridge, they are working with the boaters towards a mutual solution that fits everyone.

Secondly, its very much early days and nothing has yet been decided.

Early in September last year, I heard about a proposal that was being discussed within CaRT for what they were calling "community moorings". The main features of these were:

1: a permit that would be available for purchase by CCers allowing them to remain within a restricted area, still moving regularly but in a way that did not comply with CaRT's interpretation of the CCing requirements.

2: this permit would only be available to people whose boats had been seen regularly in the relevant area recently.

3: the permits would not be transferable to another person

4: if a person decides not to renew their permit at any time, they will lose the right to the permit.

The intention was to create "grandfather rights", allowing a limited, and diminishing, number of boaters to remain in a popular area while forcing other boaters either to find a permanent mooring or keep moving over a wider area.

My understanding is that this is in all significant respects exactly what was being proposed in Uxbridge.
