E-Petitions.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Stop British Waterways from charging Continuous Cruisers and Wide Beam boats any surcharges on top of the standard boat licence fee and to stop British Waterways from introducing a Roving Mooring Permit. More details
Submitted by PJL Smith – Deadline to sign up by: 18 November 2009 – Signatures: 202
More details from petition creator
To justify these proposals BW states that most continuous cruisers are using their boat as their home, do not have any other accommodation costs and consequently have a higher willingness to pay. When the consequence of not paying the boat licence fee is having one’s boat destroyed and thus losing one’s home, this amounts to extortion.
