But LA's don't own any land on which to make this provision do they?! Anyway even if we assume the responsibility somehow transferred to BW CCs can use any part of the towpath that is not restricted and stay for 14 days, the same as other boaters. Unlike road travellers there is no shortage of places for water travellers to stay as the length of restricted moorings is a small percentage of the whole. Arguing that there is insufficient provision is therefore a nonsense. Sounds like mischief making that has not been thought through and will ultimately lead to CCs being ostracised yet further by those who already (and wrongly) seem to think we're getting more for our money than they are. Nice one :( Steve NB Bream (CC and proud of it)
