Same guy pulling the strings behind the scenes we have been told by a very respectful source.

Only that the administrators stated there were no directorial links between the Marine Group and Western Marines. They appear to have new financial backers.
Perhaps the respectful source should contact the administrators, unless of course he/she is supportive of same guy.

Theres more info on the Watchet town face book page.

There called Western Marinas or something similar.

Hopefully they know what they are up against.Fingers crossed and wishing them good luck.
Clearly they dont know or they would not have become involved. Watchet has had nothing but problems since the building of the marina. It silted up before that but with some scouring from the stream that then flowed through it only the town side of the harbour was affected.
Since the installation of the gates silting has been far worse - the local university did some work and came up with a tonnage of silt deposited every tide. I think the number was 50 tonnes. It defeated the council then the next owner and then Smee. If you look at the number of berths possible, do a quick calculation of income there is no way IMO that it will cover the cost of dredging plus the maintenance of harbour walls, gates , infrastructure etc and leave any sort of profit to cover loan interest charges.
