Nick Corrigan, an itinerant boater, expressed concern over the new charges for moorings, stating that they make central London's waterways unaffordable for average boaters.
Nick fears the charges will separate him from his partner and his offices, illustrating how essential free moorings are to his lifestyle.
The National Bargee Travellers Association highlighted that chargeable moorings were largely underutilized, with only 16.5% booking rates in the first half of the year.
Nick criticized the Canal and River Trust for not only adding mooring fees but also raising boat licence fees, impacting itinerant boaters negatively.
