Closed petition Change Environment Agency rules for part year registration

At present if you have a boat and it is on shore being worked on and you put it back in the river you have to pay a whole year's fee even if the boat is only in the water for 9 months.

More details

It seems inequitable to have to pay for something you haven't been able to use. You can get a refund on Car Tax if your vehicle is off the road. Why shouldn't that be the same for a river licence?

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
