The council has instructed boaters moored downstream of Pulteney Weir to vacate by September or face legal action, sparking a heated political challenge. Eleven opposition councillors have banded together to question the council’s decision to register ownership of the riverbed with the Land Registry. This legal move aims to clarify the council’s control over the section of the river between the Recreation Ground and Parade Gardens.
