OMG an extra 4% with both rises that's still less than inflation.
I wish other price rises were only 8%pa life would be so much better.

I think increases would be much more acceptable if there was less evidence of wasteful and often frivalous expenditure.
A smaller number of managers, a reduction of the number of people involved with such ideas as duck walkways and idiot signs.
Seeing signs of a more frugal organisation targeting money on essential works might breed a better relationship between CRT management and boaters in general.

Don't you want to do your bit to support Ukraine? Richard Parry, chief executive at CRT, said: "This has been a very difficult decision for the Trust." .. he stayed up all night worrying about the effect it would have on boaters, shaking his fist and shouting "Damn you, Putin!" |

Paid my CRT mooring permit this week, that's gone from £493.72 last year to £547.20 this year, 11.1% increase.

I think he gets a discount.
You'd be surprised how many people need corpses hiding.
Especially whores.
I don't know why these lovely young ladies kill so many clients but there we are.
C'est la vie.

Is this your “end of garden permit.” I've always just referred to it as my mooring permit but I believe it would be what is also called an end of garden permit. Strangely enough the farmer doesn't have to pay CRT anything, there was a big court case about it back in the BW days. Something to do with when the canal course was altered, not quite sure of the ins and outs. The farm track we drive down is where the canal used to be, so I'm told. That's the main reason the rent is so cheap. My rent is due at the end of this month and I will check before I write the cheque but I've been here seven years and it's never gone up. |

On running costs for me it is a bonus that there is no licence to pay.
I'm lucky my mooring is cheap and Shapfell is moored alongside me
(the river is about 70 foot wide here and the boats in front and behind me are over 20 foot beam and Sabina and Shapfell together are only 25')

I knew of someone with an EoG mooring permit who for very many years used to remove it for 6 months of the year for a substantial reduction. As you do - genuinely - go off cruising for a good few weeks that might be worth looking into - assuming it DOES still apply. |

I did for years until my mooring owner did a deal with cart to pay the EOG fee for us all. Cancelled it when I went away, renewed it for 12months when I returned. |

Just a thought, you did need to cancel with at least 5 months left to run otherwise it wasn't worth it.

When I go away there's about five months left to run on the mooring permit so probably that wouldn't work for me. I do put the car on a SORN notice as the VED is about £32 a month and that's quick and easy to do. With the rent I pay farmer Don and the CRT permit the mooring costs me about £850 a year but that's only about £16 a week and even if all I used it as was a car parking space that would still be cheap, I spent my first year in Brinklow Marina and I was paying double that there, eight years ago. |
