Yeah I am going to bang on about this again. As of today there are still six vacant berths up for auction, again at £4704 reserves. I've said the things about how CRT claiming to charge Market Rents is self evidently a farce, how CRT are more worried about losing face than the huge void losses they are incurring. I've said it again and again: so a couple of different thoughts today.
How about offering the vacant berths here as Winter moorings? Three or four months rent in a year has to be better than none?
How about keeping a pontoon clear as a service point for the wider community? The Better Relationships Group and boaters in general have been pressing CRT for more facilities for cruising boats for months and years. Here is a ready made opportunity to improve access to facilities in West London?
Come on CRT; dare you to think out of the box?

Excellent idea! Only problem is that the pumpout facility hasn't worked for erm, years? I THINK it's a case that the master pump is just too small and too far away to do the job, a pump out point at the beginning of each pontoon was never necessary.. I only kno this as i made an appointment with Laura the CRT moorings manager as we might have been interested. I did ask her to keep me informed as to when this facility was fixed as i wouldn't be prepared to fork out all that cash if a big part of the facilities was broken.. needless to say i'm not one of the current bidders!

ReplyDeleteThanks Lampini. Interesting bit of new info. Makes the inability to let the berths even more understandable!
