The government has finally stepped back from these changes and we have won this fight. I am completely worn out from the last few months but I am deeply grateful that we held our ground together. We must stay alert to ensure they do not try to bring these plans …
AS FROM OCTOBER 2008 ALL USERS OF RED DIESEL,FARMERS ,PLANT OPPERATORS,BOAT USERS BOTH COMMERCIAL,CHARTER AND PRIVATE WILL BE REQUIRED BY LAW DICTATED BY EUROPE TO PAY THE GOVERMENTS FULL DUTY OF ANOTHER 54p. AT PRESENT IT IS 7.68.ALTHOUGH SOME OPERATORS CAN RECLAIM THEIR DUTY THIS WILL UNDOUBTEDLY CAUSE CASH FLOW PROBLEMS TO SMALL BUISSNESS USERS.IT WILL HAVE A DEVASTATING EFFECT ON THE BOAT BUILDING AND FISHING INDUSTRY EVEN DOWN TO MAGAZINES. YOU CAN VIEW THE PROPOSED CHANGES ON www.rya.co.uk THEN RED DIESEL /MOTOR BOATS.ACT THEN SIGN OUR PETITION
The feedback from boat owners and small business operators keeps proving that this change is going to break people who are already struggling to stay afloat. I spent the morning drafting another round of letters to officials even though the silence from their offices is beyond exhausting.

Seeing this momentum grow has been exhausting but it confirms that we are not fighting this alone. It is clear that plenty of people are feeling the same strain as these regulations loom over our livelihoods.

This is just another way to squeeze small businesses dry. The fishing industry is already struggling as it is.

54p is a massive jump. no way small boat yards can handle that hike at the pump.

Government just sees us as a cash cow. Boating isnt a hobby for the rich for most of us its a lifestyle.

Ridiculous red tape. My husband runs a small plant hire firm and this is going to kill his profit margins completely.
