Changes to BW’s licence terms and conditions
27th Aug 2008
A number of changes to BW’s licence terms and conditions come into effect from mid-September.
The revisions will not apply retrospectively but to new licences as they are renewed. Representatives of leading boating organisations commented on the changes earlier in the year.
The full terms and conditions, together with a summary of the changes (which include the use of phosphate-free soaps and detergents when discharging used water into the network, and a strengthening of the requirement for those hiring out a boat to provide adequate training) are available at www.britishwaterways.co.uk/licensing from mid-September.
