Affordable mooring plans scuppered (From Daily Echo)

Don't not trust Eling Marsh Yacht Association, They have been slowly taking over old timber yard quays area, pushing local out, Registered fishermen and people who was there before the Yacht club moved in, Many who use this area now to moor there boats there have yacht closer to where they live, this was once a free mooring basing till the Yacht club and the Docks Board moved in and took over the area.

Just testing communications

It's time the the west side of Southampton Water was incorporated into Southampton.

Southy, not everything is a battle; sometimes it's simply progress and re-generation. Where's the value in empty sheds and units?
I'm sure with a little local interest and investment that particular area could become somewhere people want to visit. I recall there being problems in that area that stemmed from the decaying yards and failing industry, pollution of the shore line was it ?
Address the car parking issues and get it built.

Ted they are not on about the the old burt bolton timber sheds (apart from they are all in use), They are on about the mooring basin from the mill bridge to the end of the old timber yard quay the quay near the pub (the concrete quay).
The pollution your on about has been there since the fire in the Fison storage shed, every one who was a reg at eling knew about that seepage and where it came from and why, its slowly diluting over the years.

For one, the administrative costs. There. A reason not to do it. It might not be the most wonderful reason, but until it's countered by an actual reason from the opposing angle, it wins the argument by default. Unless there's an actual reason to make the other side of the water part of Southampton, cost is as good a reason as any not to bother.

I can remember when Totton was just a village it held the record for a long time off being the largest village in the UK

If you only allow yourself 3 - 4 hours sleep a night then I suspect you'll find battles anywhere!

Well, your answer amounts to "it shouldn't happen, because it hasn't happened".

That's not a accurate account with EMYA, those Moorings were taken over by Eling Sailing Club and Totton & Eling Council and EMYA had only applied for 30 Moorings by Eling Great Marsh and NOT a Marina as reported.

I hope, now that there are concerns about Parking at Eling parking Restrictions will be put on users at Eling Sailing Club,Jet Skiers and Customers at the Anchor Pub!.

Nore can i see it ever happening, if it was going to happen it would of happened in the 70's, with in 10 years of the last city boundry change.

Because it would cost tax payers' money to do it, so unless you can identify savings greater than those costs it's a nonsensical proposal.

But you understand that "it hasn't happened" isn't a reason it shouldn't happen, right?

What 'vast improvements' that have been made in Southampton over the last half-century would make anyone on the Western side of Southampton Water envious?

A year after the Red Arrows pilot lost his life at the Bournemouth Airshow, a monument was erected to his memory at Bournemouth.

It is now 67 years (R) 67 years since the end of WWII and leaders of all political persuasion in Southampton are still TALKING ABOUT a monument to the Spitfire.

You want to be accurate Eling% Totton council as controll on the beach, and a small part of the concrete quay, the yacht club as control of the rest of the quay wall right up to the mill and in front of the mill.
I can go back a very long time when Bob Tanner was still alive, when you use to get 4-5 lb Sea Trout running up the river Rum, when the club only had control in front of the mill, and the rest was free moorings, I watch the yacht club slowly creep up the concrete quay, i remeber the Dock board moving in and taking over the middle mud moorings.
What is not needed is another Yacht club in the area, there are way to many here in the Southampton area.

Yea but its not going to happen, if it was it would off happened 30 years ago, not long after they moved the city boundry from Tanners Brook to where it is today.
the city boundry will move north-east and east.

Redbridge just realise what are you calling the Eling great marsh, Ealing Great marsh is the area between the Mill bridge and Marchwood-by-pass, are they suggesting ruining a nature reserve and putting in a moving bridge.

But you do understand that "it hasn't happened" is utterly useless as a reason something won't happen, I hope.

I said yes Georgem, and like I said if it was going to happen it would off happened all ready, the river test is going to be that unchanging boundry line.

As you have already stated, the Western boundary will remain the River Test, but my betting is that the M27 will remain the NorthEast boundary, with Eastleigh Airport remaining in Eastleigh, and after the money that its council has invested in it, the cricket ground will also remain under Eastleigh's control.
