To cut an extremely long story short, We are fighting like mad to stop the local district council (based in Lowestoft) from firstly stealing all the revenue from the harbour for their general fund and lending some of it back to the harbour for works at 8% interest. Their plan is to set up a limited company where they have 100% of the shares to manage and if true to form, try to sell off sections to private companies.
The fact they they do NOT own any of the harbour lands seems to be just a small inconvenience. Also they have decided without any consultation to scrap the agreement that they signed up to with the town council, harbour users, businesses and residents in March 2015, where a trust would be formed consisting of a cross section of all parties to run the Harbour.
To any saltys out there.
