CRT apparently going to deal harshly with people who moor inappropriately. Using byelaws ? Is this a first for CRT? Actually using byelaws for what they are there for. Should we be celebrating? I think so. They even claim that they (CRT) will be relieving persistent offenders of their licenses so it sounds like they mean business at least on the cut ie non PRN waterways. Link downloads a pdf canalrivertrust.org.uk/media/original/41330-canal-and-river-trust-to-tackle-improper-mooring-and-make-waterways-safer.pdf?v=2612e4Is this the official version of the rather silly "Moored Like A Twat" facebook group? Seems like good news to me but its sad that it is needed really. More proof of the rapid idiotisation of the canals. It would be nice to hear from NigelMoore if the pipe and whisky and slippers can be rested for a moment.

It’s all good as long as it applies to carts work boats as well. It is good that they are going to start using the byelaws, instead of their own made up procedures.

You would think they will train all the operators to moor correctly, not on a lock landing, visitor moorings or blinds bends, all with silly blue rope.. The document looks edited on page 2, text appears to be a photo as it wont copy and paste! The bit after this... If a boater does not address their inappropriate mooring the process will allow the Trust to take action that could

The link won't load for me @someboater ... what's their definition of inappropriately please.
If it's on water points, lock landings etc then fair enough.

I wonder just what could have prompted this sudden concern at C&RT HQ over badly moored boats ?

I wonder just what could have prompted this sudden concern at C&RT HQ over badly moored boats ? Complaints about badly moored craft I believe. It will be interesting to see the outcome ie if anyone in fact does get properly enforced against. Intriguing plan anyway. Possibly using this byelaw: Vessels to be properly moored 28. Any vessel (other than a dredger or other vessel engaged in works of maintenance of the canal) moored at any wharf or elsewhere in any canal shall be securely moored head and stern with good and sufficient ropes or other efficient apparatus and shall be laid as close to and along the side or front of such wharf or other mooring place as conveniently may be and shall be moored in such a manner and in such a position as not to cause any obstruction to the navigation of other vessels. ----- Note the "other than" indicating that CRT workboats are exempt.

Mooring without a valid licence or registration is... err... inappropriate?
