Maldon District Council – E Petition – Increase in charges for mooring barges and parking cars on Hythe Quay The Thames Sailing Barge Trust and other barge Operators on Hythe Quay at Maldon are facing a huge increase in mooring and parking charges from Maldon District Council which all are fighting. However the council is not looking at the wider issues relating to what it proposes. The Thames Sailing Barge Trust is unable to afford a 94% rise in charges and neither can the other operators. The Maldon & Heybridge Heritage Harbour Working Group, on which the barge operators have a voice, has set up an e-petition on the Maldon District Council website. The link is below. Could we ask you to click on the link and register and then support the statement that has been issued. https://democracy.maldon.gov.uk/mgEPetitionListDisplay.aspx?
