People across the whole country are being told to stop living aboard at both inland and coastal marinas
Living aboard unofficially "under the radar" is now to all intents and purposes a thing of the past in most locations and the few that haven't started to strictly apply their terms and conditions and / or significantly tighten them are almost certain to follow suit
I'm certainly aware of more 'chatter' around this in the media etc., but much of that seems to stem from the activities of the CRT and EA around London.
Is there actually anything 'going on' more broadly? It would be interesting to know if anything has been written in white papers or updated advice has been issued to local government, in any form. My experience (as a planning policy researcher) suggests actions are rarely taken unless there is some policy or guidance context - even if those actions relate to enforcement of longstanding issues.
I don't doubt that pressures are high in the South East and that lockdowns have brought liveaboards to the attention of marina management more generally. But is there actually anything else going on beneath the surface?
