London Boaters

A vibrant community of people who live on boats in London, mostly without a permanent mooring.

Anyone know a family who live in a canal boat, up for a shoot in London?
Any leads?

RT @mzdt: something @CRTContactUs could (and should) help out with, I'm sure, but will they? http://t.co/4Xi9cqAlHg @londonboaters

[Lee Wilshire @leewilshire]

@LondonBoaters not a permanent measure but as and when it is an issue such as now. Not on @CRTnotices yet because of Easter but will be soon

[Lee Wilshire @leewilshire]

@LondonBoaters via @crtlondon Hampstead Road locks to be locked between 10pm and 7am starting now to save water on the Paddington arm.

[London Boaters @LondonBoaters]

Issue of Lee Valley Regional Park turning 'land given to them in trust' into private paid moorings. CRT agreed to look into this further.

[London Boaters @LondonBoaters]

Call for more mooring rings and water taps to ease congestion. CRT respond to say they are looking to do this but new water points cost £20k

[London Boaters @LondonBoaters]

Call for 2-3 day visitor moorings in London for visiting boats passing through. Big support in the room. #crtopenmeeting

[London Boaters @LondonBoaters]

Should there be a requirement on @CanalRiverTrust and BWML to provide a proportion of affordable moorings like housing developers do?

[London Boaters @LondonBoaters]

At @CanalRiverTrust open meeting with Chief Exec Richard Parry. Is there an alternative to 'letting the market decide' mooring fees?

[roger @roggys]

Interesting q&a on moorings, maintenance, what is a 'boater' Onto discussing bwml issues. Big issue around 'let market decide' mooring fees

[roger @roggys]

Well attended meeting tonight with @CRTOnline ceo Richard Parry. Should be some interesting questions. @CRTLondon

[roger @roggys]

Pleased that #Slough Arm will be dredged starting next week, £700k well spent @towpathtalk @CRTLondon @LondonBoaters @sloughobserver
