The BA stated a loss in hire boat toll income was a reason for last years extortionate increase, was it 20% for some, then they actually ended up better off.
Reading through other threads today it also occurs that some hire boat companies need to start putting something back insteasd of taking all the time.
Rather than tapping private boat owners for a few quid each time they are short the Broads Authority should be looking at how they can cut the wastage and start saving some money as every other "authority" across the UK is having to do.
