I've had permission from them to post this thread & I hope you don't think that I'm being presumptuous by asking for your assistance.

Some of you may remember that some years ago I was posting about my friend Anne & her cancer treatment & many of you were kind enough to proffer your good wishes, for which we were very grateful.

A problem (understatement!) has arisen whereby she & her partner Rod could use your help once again, so I'm taking the unusual step (for me) of posting a link to a petition site -

https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/derek-newton-revoke-the-unfair-eviction-of-vulnerable-pensioners-rod-taylor-and-anne-gavin

Scrolling down, you'll find links to the heart of the matter & the first link -

http://wylam.boatersrights.org/ - gives further links.

If I may be so bold as to ask you all for your support by signing the petition (it's free, you'll get a confirmation email & you can "unsubscribe" whenever you wish), it would mean a great deal to me & to Rod & Anne.

This isn't just about their mooring - this could affect anyone with a permanent mooring in the UK.

If you don't agree, fair enough - though if you do, please sign & get the numbers up. I don't use Facebook, but if anyone thinks Rod & Anne are being treated unfairly & are on FB, could you spread the word please?

As always, thanks for your time & attention, L-i K

I haven't got time to read all that unfortunately, but is the jist of it that your friends are getting evicted because they made complaints to their landlord?

Apologies, I should have said that there was a lot to read, but rocky is essentially correct - the complaint was about unfair mooring price increases & receiving value for money paid in the way of services provided.

grasscarp - thank you for trying, I have no idea why it didn't work

Done, the sailing club I belonged to had a similar experience with the local harbour board. We called their bluff as we controlled the land access so they had to give way. It is possible to beat these bullies.
Done - only nine more needed to reach the 1000 target.
Done, I hope it helps your friends.
Done.

Done - with my very best wishes for them, Mr. King
Signed and I wish them success in their fight and indeed all boaters affected, these big outfits all too often try to trample people down.
Signed and I wish them both well
