News detail
Retaining a working yard and offline moorings can and has been accomplished within Town Centre developments before, adding to the character and value of them. A semi-tidal yard so close to the High Street of a town centre must be rare indeed. I have the chance to try pushing these aspects in persuading the Council that Ridgeways must be retained within any new scheme. The Council have only just granted new designations to the nearby Thames and tidal boatyards on the Borough boundaries, which is a significant move forward. I need your help in getting them to extend this protection to us! I set up an online petition last year, when the first round of consultations began, but had far too few responses. I’d like to present a print-out of a very much larger list if I can, and so the more "signatures" I can get in the next few weeks the better. Please try to think of something for the comments section, - that makes all the difference! Get to the site on: click here.
Many thanks,

Yet another public consultation is out as to how Brentford's development should continue! This is an opportunity to demonstrate to the council, not just how strong local opinion is over the proposed loss of our unique but small boatyard, but also how widespread the concern is to the wider boating community and all those interested in both waterways' heritage and the survival of rare ecological niches.
