Rejected petition Moorings for Residential Boaters on the River Thames

More details

An age old heritage of living aboard boats is being destroyed as huge land owners such as Oxford University and many Councils push boaters off their land and don't give them any alternatives.

A very low impact and affordable way of life for so many and they will be forced out of their homes.

These are hard working tax payers who are trying to support children through schools and they are being discriminated against for no apparent reason.

Permanent Residential Mooring should be provided.
This is a very low impact and sustainable way of life which should not only be supported but encouraged.
