Clydeport conservancy (fee charging) plans opposition

I know a lot of folk on here come up to the clyde estuary to boat but not sure how many folk will be aware that the ports owners, Peel Ports plan to introduce an annual charge for using the waters which extend as far down as Irvine, a vast area which covers most of the popular spots.
I think it would be a shame if a cash rich company like Peel started making money from pleasure boat users

No final details yet but some chat here

And an opposition petition here

Please sign & share so we can apply pressure to avoid this charge
Cheers

As you say Ken the likely proposed area taking in the Bute area and top of Arran is huge. Many would regard this as open water not a harbour situation justifying charges.

I see Peel Ports haven't yet officially issued a consultation document but will do so soon.

Your Facebook link is to a private group we can't see without joining but I found several pages of chat here...
