Stalham Council Getting Tough

[Miles]

Stalham Council have put yet another new sign up at Stalham Staithe.

And apparently the other sign says,
"Quiet Moorings
24:Hours Only"

After that you can make as much noise as you like.

[Miles]

Well Stalham Council didn't get tough and the staithe continues to be blocked by two overstayed boats for the third year in a row.
I wonder if there is going to be any chance of being able to moor at the staithe this season to get some shopping or are the overstayed boats going to hog the moorings for yet another year.
There is nothing more irritating than attempting to moor at the staithe and you can't because two boats have selfishly moored there for three years.

[Miles]

Could not get in today.
Bit unfair this, had to walk from Sutton to get some shopping as overstaying still continues.

[David]

Yes those 2 boats I do believe are owned by the same person, they were moored one in front of the other up until the Staith was redone

Perhaps Stalham Parish can take a leaf out of Loddon Parish council's latest move against overstayers!!!

[Miles]

Well I went in late yesterday afternoon and managed to squeeze my bow in at the very end.
.
The wooden overstaying boat called Ozzy has a half sunken orange Mayland boat double moored next to it which was making my exit difficult.

I asked the woman on the boat if she could move it but she blatantly refused. I suggested that I move it for her but she then insisted I put it back afterwards. How she expects that to happen is beyond me?

Anyway when I am pulling my boat out by hand, this woman appears again all stroppy

I asked her if she was aware of the level of inconvenience their three boats are causing other boaters and she started foaming at the mouth and started shouting a load of nonsense about not being the Broads Authority.

I told her she was scum and that for the past three years other boaters have not been able to moor here.

What a total disgrace.

[David]

Well done about time someone confronted her, still not wanting to start rumours I think there was a drug issue to do with that boat last year?

[avg45]

Well done Miles. She has been a pest for some years now.

I went past at 10.00 today and they were still there, but hopefully they will be moved on very soon.
