Like the Thames most of the bank is under riparian ownership. The Broads Authority have had their money for this year cut already and are facing year on year cuts over the next 4 years but they have increased the number of public free moorings over the past few years. For my sins I am now the IWA representative on the Broads Forum and have just attended my first meeting. There is also a representative for the parish councils in the Broads Area.
