Judging by the number of boats that have appeared locally, it seems the best idea is to have no number, no name, no licence and no insurance on your boat. Crt are leaving these boats alone. There’s quite a few that have taken up residence on parts of the canal and never move. Perhaps it’s because the boats have very little resale value, or that if you don’t give them a name it’s very difficult for them to find out who you are? But as usual crt go for the easy targets, elderly and vulnerable people usually.

You KNOW no action's being taken ? Or just think that's the case? I spoke to C&RT some time ago about a wide beam on the North Oxford, and was assured the owner is being pursued by C&RT although they couldn't divulge any details of course. Usually these processes take years ... as we all know Rog

Being a towpath dweller you have to have a relationship of some sort with other towpath dwellers.

I have been banging on about this with CRT and with BW before them for many years. Total waste of my time, they don't care. They just charge us legal rent payers more to cover the losses.

I’m just pointing out that they don’t do anything about the boats that don’t display numbers or names. Whilst they where again hassling an 80 odd year old boater who has had cancer. They really are a nasty organisation. Maybe we should all stop paying them and take the names and numbers off our boats?

I agree ... it's not your job to report them.

I suspect there are quite a few unidentified boats that they know who they belong to.

Eyup, nice to see you can post on other topics. Do you remember who posted pics of CWDF Denials boat with no licence displayed? I think you mean "no valid licence" displayed. Do try to get facts right - next you'll be telling us that AstraZeneca's 'vaccine' is 'safe'. If you have any rat poison in your garden shed, that might help with your blood clots.

You weren't asked about who you'd be looking for advice from, . . you were asked where a spineless windbag like you would find the courage to back up all your empty talk with some positive action. Your past record on that front is nothing to be proud of, . . is it ? Scared stiff at the suggestion of grounding A41 on the Barton Island flood shoal last year to force the C&RT to dredge it out !
