The Lease with the Crown is held by the Company. The Board of the Company follows the Company’s constitutional documents and Bye Laws in running the organisation.
Only Registered Moorings are to be laid.

Problems with moorings
It has come to the attention of the Board that a number of moorings are not fit for purpose as well as vessels that are not fit to be moored on the river. This includes vessels coming adrift, vessels being filled with water.
Registered mooring owners will be notified with any works necessary to bring the moorings up to standard or to ensure that the mooring is in the registered position. Failure to comply will result in the loss of the annual mooring license.
Do inform the Board if you see any mooring issue.
