I don't know it exactly although they all follow the same format i.e. Name of person@canalrivertrust.org. So looking at other cart emails I imagine parrys is Richard.parry@canalrivertrust.org

I got the boaters update, in which Damien invited me to 'drop him a line' if I have questions about the licence changes.
So I have.......rude not to.
I want to copy it to the man too.
Probably pointless, but what can you do.
Thanks kris I'll try that.

They have targets for how many friends they need to keep the government happy. If the numbers start falling the government might start questioning their actions. |

Yep, it went thanks. I'm curious to see if I get a reply from either, or indeed if I get a true reply, or just a 'cut n paste' from their blurb. Peeing into the wind comes to mind  Ah well. Rog |

I foresee a slight problem in complying with the guidelines they wish you to use . . . " If you are able to say something good about the company before you express your disappointment . . ." At least they say IF. |

Email sent. Come on everybody send him an email. Even if your a widebeam hater, you must have concerns over how the whole process was conducted?

So rog I got a reply to my email to Richard parry about the liscence review, nothing in expected in the reply but I'll post it here.
Dear Kris
Thank you for your email to Richard Parry regarding the changes to licensing that we announced recently, he has asked me to respond.
I’m sorry that you are disappointed with the final decision. The consultation was about getting an up-to-date licensing system that spreads the financial contribution made by boaters fairly. The feedback we’ve received shows that most boaters are happy with how the overall structure of the system works, so we’ve listened to this and aren’t making any drastic changes.
We do recognise that some boaters will be paying more because of these changes, and we are intending to freeze underlying licence fees for 2019 to counteract any increases. This will be confirmed later in the year when prevailing price inflation can be taken into account. We anticipate that even with the reduction in prompt-payment discount in 2019 the overall revenue from boat licensing will remain the same. It’s worth pointing out that if we wanted to generate more money from boat licences then we already have a means of doing so, as we could simply increase licence fees across the board.
As you can see in the final decision report, the option to charge all boats by actual area had the most overall support. However, we felt the potentially significant increase in fees for those with wider boats would be disproportionate. That said we do believe that it is reasonable that the boat licence fee should take width as well as length into consideration, given the advantages of the greater on-board space that this provides. As such we think it’s fair that there’s some reflection of the space a boat takes up in the licence fee. These changes will be phased in gradually up to 2023 so boaters will have a chance to adjust and prepare.
Boat licence income is an important contribution towards the maintenance and upkeep of the network. We feel that the changes we have announced spread that contribution fairly across boaters, and along with other income, will help us to sustain ongoing investment to maintain and improve the whole network. We remain committed to supporting historic craft across the network and as such will be retaining the historic boat discount.
Best wishes
Matthew
