BroadsAuthority Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Good morning all, We are aware of the posts on social media by Barnes Brinkcraft regarding hire boats and their statement that they have received permission from DEFRA and the Broads Authority to recommence hiring. This is categorically untrue, we are expecting an announcement soon from DEFRA on guidance for hire craft however no permission has been granted by the Broads Authority and we are still waiting for the Government announcement. We are now in direct communication with Barnes Brinkcraft’s management to get this clarified and corrected. We are conscious that this will have caused confusion amongst hirers and business owners. Please await further news soon. Tom 4 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Barnes should underhandedly re-brand their day boats as 'borrow boats'. You pay £80.00 per hour or whatever to park your car and Barnes will let you 'borrow' a boat for the corresponding time for absolutely nothing. So simple!

Also I reckon Barnes are hoping authorities don't look at their Faceache page and permission is received before this gets noticed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
