 This location is  outside of Tesco Reading and is apparently worded wrongly. It should say the same as the other RBC owned locations that mooring is allowed for 24 hours and will cost you  £9.50. All of the locations are private land and owned by RBC. There has been a fee payable and a restriction of 24 hours at all of these locations since at least 1990 to my knowledge.RBC have failed to enforce these fees for all of those years and that has resulted in many boaters taking advantage of the situation and setting up home at them, some for many years.If this move works it can only be a good thing in the long term but I would have preferred the charge to match EA's of the first 24 hours free and £5 per day for the following two days. I don't think that RBC see this as a money making exercise but more about maintaining an amenity  for all.

That would make more sense Keith. I have seen the signs popping up all even down in Henley area at the Rewind festival.

I have had problems with wheel clamping companies in the past & was charged twice at my own premises as "They did not see the permit in my windscreen" & after 4 hours including Police being called I had to pay £175 TWICE.................

I will would recommend removing your index plates & putting them in your windows, as you can just go shopping & take the plates out of the window..... ;O) 

Reading BC seems to have a message for boaters & that message seems to be F*** OFF 

PS

The sings at Rewind say £200 if you stop at this point? so all the signs seem to have a lack of consistency.

I think CRT have it right with 14 days stay then bugger off & that is fair. 

If it were me I would just say "Please don't moor here" But I try to be a nice guy.....

If it was your own premises then surly it was you who employed the clamping company to keep you premises clear, why didn't you just end the contract?

Whites wheel clamping would sue for loss of "Profit" for the contact time...... 

Before the law change it was wild west cowboys & the shop next to me got them in & I was clamped on my own land. trust me I was going to cut the clamp off & the cops said the would be criminal damage & I would be arrested, They were going to tow my car & I said that would be stealing but the cops didn't want to know. The only reason they could not tow the car was because I sat in it. Health & Safety was my only weapon. after 3 hours the cops said pay up or will will arrest you...... When this happens to your boat I will laugh my ass off.....

Such a shame he got a kicking the little P****. He even had TO55ER number plates on his car. Like I say it's better to be nice to people as you never know what they will do to you!

If you really want me to read the story, maybe you would be kind enough to provide an active link. - We will be leaving the marina shortly and will be out of 'internet range' until tomorrow night - I will have a look for your reply then.

Nige it is really quite difficult to take you seriously when you make claims you can't back up wth a link.

Telling people to google your claims then ridiculing them when they say there are no results really doesn't cut it.

Please post a link to your story if you want to be believed.

Because I don't have the data allowance to go trawling about looking at TV clips. 

Why not just post the frigging link!
