Typical Monthly Snapshot of London Enforcement Caseload • 211 active licence evasion cases • 32 active overstaying cases • 208 active non continuous cruiser enforcement process • 55 active other enforcement issues • Total number of boats 2,964 (1,052 Ccers) and growing. We are getting on top of it and here’s why…
• London Enforcement Team now up to full strength – • Appointment of an Additional EO on the upper Lee and Stort • Appointment of permanent ES for London • Appointment of new Central EO • New Data checker appointed earlier in the year and now recruiting to remaining vacant post

• Invoicing boaters for overstays at VMs • 14 Day reminder texts is resulting in boats moving on (and people like them) • New CCer Licence process – non renewal for non compliant ccers without home moorings • Earlier contact with non compliant boaters from Rangers, Boating Co- ordinators and Enforcement Officers • Old fashioned towpath presence • Phone contact with boaters
• Hotspot areas to solve particular issues e.g ASB and improper mooring • Working more closely with Rangers to solve ASB issues and tightening up enforcement processes and evidence gathering • Solving problems before they become too big • Earlier enforcement action for persistent offenders • Enforcement action to ensure Continuous Cruisers do actually CC – • Relieve congestion on the network • Give everyone a fair chance at staying in popular spots • Prevent new ‘problem areas’ emerging • Deal with existing ‘problem areas’
• Closer working with stakeholders and CRT colleagues to respond to the huge increase in boat numbers, the resulting congestion and related inconvenience for both boaters and our land based neighbours • Investigate possibility of creating more VMs • Investigate areas where the main length could be used for mooring • Potential enforcement for non display of boat index and name – it is important folks! (big resource drain)
• We know the size & location of the problems • Focus directed at overstaying & movement • Help boaters to understand their obligations
