Harbour rents - Cornish woman battles it out in London.

It seems that the issues with harbour rents are the subject of contention all over the Uk. Ex-pat actress, Susan Penhalligan who lives on a houseboat on the Thames is involved in a rent battle with the Port of London Authority over what are effectively 'harbour dues' for the privilege of having a mooring on the river.  Susan, along with a number of other floating residents has formed an action group to fight the good fight and protect all those river residents affected by the changes to dues - that have reportedly risen more than 300% and more.


The action group are fearful that the PLA will try to push a Harbour Revision Order (HRO) without recourse to normal parliamentary channels.
