In Waterways World, 2007 July, page 51 there is a report on BW's
initiative to reduce the number of towpath moorings. BW is quoted as
saying that for every ten new offline moorings created, ten towpath
moorings will be closed.
In the Sawley area, 280 new moorings were created at Pillings Lock on
the Soar.
BW has told me that it informed all those on the towpath moorings it
would not be renewing (I believe all those moorings were on one-year
terms, and that BW had the right not to renew them) at Sawley and
Beeston that moorings would be available at Pillings.
In Towpath Talk of 2007 July 12, page 2, BW is reported to be
attempting to persuade those using towpath moorings not to be renewed
to move to Pillings..
Operators of some off-line moorings are unwilling to accept boats used
residentially. However, there is no such problem with non-residential
boats (unless of course they have some other significant flaw, such as
lack of a licence or BSS, or offensive scruffiness) .
As a result, I stand by my statement.
So my answer to the question in 3. above is "Where's mine?"
>People are fed up with the growing attitude of back biting and abuse from

Some people on the waterways are fed up with those who keep demanding
rights they don't actually have, to the detriment of the rest of the
waterways community.
>I now realize who you are I have read your articles in Waterways World !
>Your attitude in those articles is just the same as your comments here (jumped
>up and self opinionated)
Ah, my editor will be please to hear of another constant reader.

Pillings Marina is 30 miles away !
The cost of mooring there would be double what I am paying here !
I'm sorry mate all your comments do is prove how full of S#!t you actually are !
I know I'll never get an apology from you
Your not big enough to do that !
I think this will be the end of the subject !
All I was doing in my original post was to spread some good news through the
boating community !
I expect you have similar views with respect of the Save our Waterways "
campaign ?
There are plenty of decent boaters out there we don't need the likes of you !
