The slip was never available 24 hrs. to the public. When I was able to use it in 2014, I had to be back by 10pm, their rules if I wanted to use it.
Although it needs some repair, I was able to use it. And when I asked if I could still come and use the slip, I was discouraged

If it is a public slip, the Government needs to ensure it is available 24 7 , and if some-one is blocking its availability deliberately then Governent needs to seek a court injunction. Such legal costs should be borne by the offending club, in this instance.

The slip itself is in horrible shape and I stopped using it to launch my whaler about two years ago.

Years ago there was an idea to put in a ramp running down the eastern wall of SPBC. That ramp was to be less steep than the existing one and would allow for bigger boats to be launched and pulled. If such a ramp could be approved by Planning these days then maybe stakeholders would be willing to pool their funds and make it happen, especially given the existing ramp is inadequate and sounds to be in a dangerous state.

The slip is a safety hazard, walls are on the verge of collapsing. It is unsafe for anyone to use. Maybe the slip at Devonshire dock could be used if it wasn’t blocked by abandoned boats. You don’t hear anybody crying about that.

Well that’s the PLP these days. They seem to resemble the Republicans these days by “forgetting” everything they did while in Government.

“Oh this is a problem? Then it must be the OBA’s fault cuz we have no recollection of it”.

this clearly should be rectified. No public slip should have to rely on a private club to give the public access. and 24 hours notice is crazy.

BREAKING NEWS!

It’s clear the PLP don’t do their homework (or even remember what they’ve done). Amnesia? How embarrassing! It’s MPs’ obligation to show up to work prepared!
Perhaps the PLP have ALSO forgotten $1.6b in debt they built? Perhaps they forgot their spending after each $100million? Who knows…?
But it sure explains why they won’t admit to it! They cannot remember…amnesiacs!

If it weren’t so serious, I’d be laughing!
