Falmouth Harbour Commisioners have (all without any consultation):
- massively increased mooring fees for those on managed mooring,
- ceased all private mooring licences, and at very short notice in a very heavy handed big corporate way forced mooring holders to accept a managed mooring in the same spot at a much higher cost with no security of tenure
- increased anchoring fees by 50% to £15 per night.
There is a legal provision for a revision to the harbour order to be proposed directly to the Secretary Of State but the proposers need to show large support.
We want to get a change made so they have to consult.
The Falmouth Harbour User Association has been formed to achieve this. It has been set up for anyone to join, whether they like to just sit and watch the harbour, or a commercial, recreational, or visiting user.
If you have ever used the harbour, or plan to at some stage please help by:
A) going to www.fhua.co.uk and signing the petition,
B) signing up to the fhua newsletter
C) writing to the commissioners letting them know your thoughts about the changes and how they have gone about it.
We as a forum were very successful supporting BORG over Studland.
Please help us to keep Falmouth open for normal people to go boating.
And a word of warning, if they get away with it here then others will follow.
