A short section (approx. 10m) of the upstream side of the Neatishead Staithe moorings are currently closed. The closure means there is no pedestrian access from the upstream side of the staithe to the car park, bin compound or village.
This is for safety reasons due to an underground water leak which is being investigated by the Parish Council.
Please adhere to the fencing an signage that is in place. More updates will be issued in due course.
All sailing clubs will have received a direct link to an RYA survey via their club contact. Please could all club officers ask their representative to complete this.
Each club would have received the direct link to the survey – please ensure that this link is used.
The survey addresses:
Ownership of buildings, land, water and access;
Facilities availability;
Operating frequencies;
Existential threats.
The survey was previously known as the Vital Signs Survey and was last conducted in 2016, with a specially adapted Coronavirus edition in 2020.
The survey seeks to capture information about clubs to helpRYA to understand the challenges facing its Affiliates. The deadline for responses is the end of May.
