Hang on a minute there Bob - you quote Pally and say that's a good "attempt" at stirring it up! ? C'mon - that's unfair. If he says he's read it somehere I have no doubt that he has, and thus it's relevant to the discussion here for him or anyone else to refer to that.
I actually know that the BA has been quoted by a boatyard for justification of their actions earlier this year when implementing more draconian measures . Yes anyone can vote with their feet. They are are also free to debate/declare/discuss the measures here!
From my perspective , our particular mooring owners have been fair, reasonable, helpful and polite throughout all of this dreadful year, as have another Boat services business we've personally dealt with. I'm sure that helps achieve the results we all want to see. But others I'm aware of have taken very different actions and their stances will surely impact on their business in the future.

Alone1, as you appear to be doubting my veracity, I have attached a screen shot of the actual message to which I was referring. I did not suggest that Broadsedge was the only one to have received a communication from the BA.
I think it is important for members to have as much information as possible and I go to great lengths to ensure that my contributions are accurate.

I spoke with David yesterday while buying electricity cards - he had phoned 'a top knob' at the B.A. that morning to confirm what to do and was told the close the gates to bertholders. He and his staff will still be there for maintenance and security.

He should have more regard to the legislation than to some 'knob' at the Broads Authority, who really do seem to have lost the plot.

The problem with David is he thinks he is God Almighty. Always was like that and I assume still is the same. Big fish in a little puddle.

I am absolutely appalled by this behaviour - if he took his gates off he would not have to lock them!!!!
Whilst I know there are a few places where you can do this, there are many many more where there is no physical security such as gates and there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that boats are more prone to theft from these places or more secure in such a compound.
My view would be that its my asset and I want to ensure its safe - to many after a house its many individuals largest asset and they are kidding themselves if they are doing this in the name of security!!!

Well, I've been made aware that Broadsedge were declaring their intention (that the moorings would be locked up from last night ) much earlier this week. So not sure what's going on there as it seems berth holders are getting different messages.

This is what is on the Broadsedge web site, and it's utter bullsh*t (IMO):
"Following the announcement by the prime minister on Saturday 31st October, from Thursday 5th November until (at least) Wednesday 2nd December new national restrictions for England will be in place.
The government has told us to stay at home and make essential journeys only. Now is not the time to visit the broads.
So as of the 5th of November 2020 Broadsedge marina will be closed for all moorings and visitors.
The gates will be locked and no access will be permitted on to the marina.
All the boats will be checked on regular basis, anything you need to ask please give David a call on 07584341446
Stay Safe!"

Sorry, but I do not agree with the remarks regarding Dave at Broadsedge. I have moored there for the past 3 years and always found him and his staff to be friendly, amiable and cooperative. I have no trouble with him locking the gates and closing the marina down for the duration of the lockdown.
Better safe than sorry!!! Surely local boat owners can go a month without visiting their boats. As I live 3 1/2 hours away it is not practical to visit my boat during the winter, so she is always closed down for 5 months. Yes it is hard, but I live with it!!!
I have also just seen on Facebook that Waterside Marine have also closed and locked the yard and told all private boat owners NOT to visit or attempt to go on the mooring sight. So what is the difference between the two? It seems as if Broadsedge and Waterside Marine are Responsible Marina owners who care about their berth holders safety and welfare. But that is all just my honest opinion.
