a) I thought the alphabet goes aBcd .... and to prove it: b) A move to providing more moorings - partly marinas, partly dual-carriageway linear moorings parallel to the canal with a long island "central reservation" (e.g. N Oxford Canal) - solves all four problems (acc&d) c) It is not inevitable that mooring prices go up higher than inflation. d) If it's all about supply and demand, more moorings will stem prices, increase income and by passing collection on to marina owners increase BW's efficiency rate. PS I know BW have released a New Marina pack, but I believe they should put *all* their efforts into this, and supporting marina developers' planning applications in the same way that they supported the Ladybridge moorings, on a long-term basis.
