The following email was sent to licence holders :
Needless to say, there have been a few pithy replies, suggesting that Scottish Canals keep the canal in a state acceptable to boaters, and, in particular, fix the (four at last count) broken bridges which restrict navigation.
Good morning
I recently visited the Lowlands destinations and notice that a lot of boats are not displaying a valid licence. Could I ask you all to ensure that you have your licence on clear display. If you do not have a current disc, please let me know and I will arrange for a duplicate to be forwarded to you.
Finally, there are a number of boats still not complying with Condition 2.17 of your Leisure Craft Long Term Licence and Moorings agreement which is that:
“You must keep the outside of the Boat in reasonable repair and the area around the Boat clean and tidy”.
In accordance with this Condition, Boats, and adjoining pontoons, must be kept in a clean and tidy condition and in good repair such that they do not reflect unfavourably on the appearance of the moorings. Boats must be kept in good, safe and serviceable condition and appearance acceptable to Scottish Canals. Guidance about what is considered acceptable can be found on our website: -
www.scottishcanals.co.uk/activities/boating/information/your-boats-appearance/
I am aware that this does not apply to all boats however I would appreciate if you would all take the time to review the condition of your boat and if necessary, power wash or paint to bring the boat up to standard.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Have a great weekend.
