Another 'reliable souce' told me last week that Racecourse Marina clocked up 20% evasion when the EA visited. That's rather a lot me thinks. Apparently other marinas averaging 10% evasion. It would be soooo interesting (even if utterly pointless) to have the official figures and league table of license evasion by marina/mooring location from the EA....
Our pontoon alone in Bray boasts at least 4 evasion notices. Though to be fair, two of them are on boats that have covers that go right over their windscreens ,so it could be that the owners do have a licence, but actually cannot make it visible. (maybe)
Amusingly, another chap has one notice from MDL displaying his full name, address, and amount of his unpaid account which they intend to recover by selling his boat(!), and an EA license evasion notice right alongside it! . At least the EA officer didn't have to look far to note the culprits name etc!
Hoping for more revenue collection success stories soon...
