Stop the reduction of mooring times at Berkhamsted, Braunston and Marsworth

We want Canal and River Trust to stop the reducing of mooring times at Berkhamsted, Braunston and Marsworth.

Why is this important?

Recently, the Canal & River Trust (CRT) announced a proposal to change the mooring times in three locations on the southern Grand Union canal, at Berkhamsted, Braunston and Marsworth.

These proposals will reduce 14 day moorings to 7 days, 48 and 24 hours. Reducing these time limits, as seen in prior changes in other areas, has had a detrimental effect on the local community, canal side businesses, canal traders and boaters with or without a home mooring.

The proposals will further concentrate boaters to ever decreasing areas therefore causing more issues for CRT enforcement and those boaters who wish to stay in these areas for 14 days.

There is an ongoing consultation and we encourage signatories to put in their objections before the end of February via the following link:

The reducing of mooring times at Batchworth, Braunston and Marsworth must be stopped.
