Wouldn't be happy if the planned pontoon turned into a Dong windfarm boats pontoon. By the way, dont know if it is open yet but there will be a fuel pontoon in B'sea with running water too - just upstream of the Colne YC Pontoon. Has the name of the new HM been made public?

Face it, Brightlingsea is a commercial port (albeit not that busy) and as such, clear passage must be maintained for commercial vessels. A new pontoon that will enhance the Smack Dock facilities can surely only add to the ambience of the town? For once, I am actually in favour of a development in Brightlingsea!! No, I haven't heard any whisper on who the new HM is yet either!

Click to expand... Indirectly I have been told who it is, but not sure if I can say as it hasn't been announced. Just surprised it hasn't been made public. Interviews were 1 / 2 and 17 Dec. I had a letter telling me I hadn't got the job just before Christmas.
