Questions
Which linear moorings with gated access or CCTV in the North West have space now?
None of the 13 has told us in the last six weeks that it has space. We ask every site regularly; the list above updates as they reply.
Do I need a licence as well as a mooring?
On top of the mooring fee: of these, 13 need a Canal & River Trust boat licence. Coastal marinas usually need none.
