Boaters Avril McGovern and Rebecca Sarll at Mead Lane in Saltford. "The decision follows years of escalating tension between people living on and off the water. Residents claimed boaters were damaging the riverbank and staying longer than they were allowed." "At a cabinet meeting on Thursday, boater Rebecca Sarll accused the council of taking residents' claims "at face value with zero data to back them up. Rebecca Sarll threatened legal action against Bath and North East Somerset Council if it pressed ahead with the plans without considering the impact on boaters. But residents branded the authority “negligent” for allowing mooring in Mead Lane and said it was “imperative” they were taken away." www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/local-news/moorings-river-avon-near-bath-4591285 I don't know what this is about, but people with rings through their noses look silly.

who? ...................... continuous moorers of course.
if folks complied with the mooring limits then Rebecca and her mate wouldn't have been there long enough to get involved.

Best not to judge lest you find yourself judged naughtyfox ... after all some manage to look silly without a ring through their nose Rog

Boaters Avril McGovern and Rebecca Sarll at Mead Lane I don't know what this is about, but people with rings through their noses look silly. I agree. If she took that ring out of her nose and put on some make-up and a nice frock, she could probably land herself a man and bid farewell to the world of Velcro-bumping. She's got a fairly decent rack so I'm sure there would be some interest. As for the one on the right, she's got no chance, unless she can find a man who is specifically looking for a dumpy, boot-faced old hag. And I would imagine these are few and far between.

Describes herself as a 'badass' "Eco-builder, entertainer, sand sculptor, boat dweller, badass" twitter.com/sarllrbrightonpermaculture.org.uk/category/news/All-in-all probably not a bad type... I'd certainly rather have people like her on this planet than Boris, Cummings and 'The Right Hon' Robert Jenrick and all of their scummy tax-avoiding chums.

Here's a bit more Here ya go - overstaying. So, as expected, boaters taking the piss again. "abuse by a minority" (read article) "Boaters and residents near Bristol have accused each other of prejudice, threats and intimidation and a trial moorings scheme has been branded a “total failure”. Boaters say they have been called “scum” and fear prejudice may drive them from moorings in Saltford. But people living near the moorings at Mead Lane say a trial scheme which gave boaters somewhere to stop for up to two weeks has failed. It is claimed they have faced years of threats and intimidation from people living on houseboats who are often unidentifiable. The animosity began in 2017 when Bath and North East Somerset Council began trialling a number of mooring points allow boaters for up to 48 hours or as long as two weeks, but critics said it was a “free for all”. " After reports of antisocial behaviour against both sides and claims that boaters frequently outstay their welcome, the authority’s new administration is consulting on the future of the site. www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/boaters-residents-clash-over-moorings-3408604

Oh... and here's Rebecca again! "In order for me to do 20 miles from Bath I'd have to go into Devizes where there's no public transport. It's a several hours round trip to get into Bath so its just not really viable. Rebecca Sarll, Houseboater" www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2020-02-03/bath-houseboaters-say-the-could-be-made-homeless-under-new-moorings-ban Her boat is very clean and tidy - in fact, I'm sure kris would describe her as a 'shiny boat owner'. I suspect she knows she's been living on the cheap, parked up for free. And now caught like a rabbit in headlights. "many boaters unable to afford to move onto dry land but unable to stay close to their jobs." - there you go, that's the nub of the matter. "Unable to afford". No affordable housing for Brits - yet Rishi is frittering away other people's money like there's no tomorrow. How about, as an answer, for there to be affordable marinas? That's what I'd suggest.

Nothing to do with nimmby ism then, or fear about property values?
