Humber to the Wash 2012 Page 2 of 7 Challenges to Pricing Decisions We have made the pricing recommendations below based on thorough market research. It is our policy, set at Board level, to set prices which reflect market supply and demand and to compete fairly with private operators. BW has neither powers nor duty to provide subsidised moorings. If you feel that the price decision made for your mooring site is unjustified having read this report, we ask that you write to the National Moorings Manager explaining why you think it is the case. Please explain the reasoning for your challenge including evidence such as price and descriptions of nearby privately operated mooring sites. We will not amend the price without this evidence. We will consider your representation and respond in writing within two working weeks. If you are not satisfied with the response, you may request that the matter is dealt with through our formal complaints procedure. Humber to the Wash 2012 Page 3 of 7 Pricing conclusions In reaching conclusions, comparisons have been made with other BW sites and private sites, auction results have been considered, and management costs have been taken into account. Other considerations such as general demand (e.g. winter sites and some less popular towpath sites) and changes in facilities or disturbance caused by BWs operations or changes have also been taken into account. 2011 Price from Site Name Notes on pricing decision Price April 2012 Chesterfield Canal There have been recent security concerns in this area.
