Next weekend (13-14 June) we'll be at the National Waterways Museum's 50th Anniversary at Ellesmere Port talking to boaters. This is as part of our campaign against the CRT's surcharge on boats without home moorings.
We've already been speaking to hundreds of people over the last few weeks at CRT events and the public's response has been clear: they are outraged at the CRT's attempts to punish the most vulnerable members of our community, especially in the midst of a cost of living crisis.
