Seven unlicensed boats have recently been passed to external solicitors for prosecution. Of these three have now paid for a licence, one will be removed from the water. As we have had no contact from the other three, they will progress towards prosecution.

Friday stats:
So far this year we have issued 287 navigation licences, this is already an increase from the 283 we issued in 2022/23.

233 of the 287 are renewals from 2022/23 and the rest are new applicants.
