Licensing

[JohnK]

I'm after some advise on what EA / BW license(s) I need ... please help!!

I'm planning to berth my boat at Wisbech (river Nene) come April (and out again in October), in the meantime I want to use it for the odd day on the Trent.

Do I need an EA licence for the Nene?
Do I also need a BW licence for the Trent?

Thanks in advance,

Try posting this on the Motor Boats Forum, there are one or two peeps there that berth in that neck of the woods.

I keep my boat on the tidal section of the River Welland at Fosdyke, it cost's £2.00 a year to register the boat with the Environment Agency at peterborough.
I dont know how much the council moorings cost at Wisbech, but if your going none tidal towards Peterborough then it's just as expensive as else where.

OK Byron I will do my best! There is an eastern rivers licence that covers EA and BW rivers, not absolutely sure it covers Trent, try the EA web site or ring the Nene office on 01522 513100
There is also a gold license covering all EA and BW waterways nationally but it looks very expensive, dont get drawn into buying this if you dont need it.
