The Broads Authority

After spending 3 nights at the yacht station Norwich, the help we had off all three staff David Bob and Christian was superb. You cannot fault them all are a credit to the authority; Many thanks Dave and Pam White Silver Mist

Lovely area being ruined by Burgess, Packham and Smith. This quango are just trying to raise their property portfolio at the expense of the toll payer. Trying to keep the National Park lie alive, when it is well documented that the Broads will never be one, navigation before conservation! They have damaged my boat on numerous occasions ( I was always acting in accordance of the law ), in the end forcing me to sell my vessel and move to better run waters in Cambridge. These guys have broken laws themselves on many occasion, but are never held to account. They have even pretended they were the local council in one example. As for planning permission, wow! I have never needed to apply luckily, but I monitor many cases. Usually, landowners or businesses end up giving up or selling. On a positive note, Joel (sp?) who deals with tolls/tax is a nice chap, polite and honest which is a rare treat with the Broads Authority.

The Norfolk Broads are wonderful and the BA on the whole do a good job of managing them, in particular individual members of staff are fantastic. 4*s instead of 5*s because they insist on calling The Broads a National Park... it's not.

Place was good. You need almost complete day if you need to cover places. Online booking is preferred as you might not get a boat on spot booking but can try luck if plan is not fixed. Time well spent in group and would be preferable to go with group of people to have a good chat and ride so that you can drive one by one since sometime it get boring to drive at a speed limit of 6mile per hour max and sometimes is can go low to 4-5 miles per hour

Just wanted to say that once again the staff at Yare House pulled all the stops today to get my toll & permit processed, to enable me to get on the water this weekend….Brilliant…credit where credit is due.
(Special thanks to Theresa)

They try and intimidate people when they literally have zero powers. Crossing Breydon water on numerous occasions they come up beside you and shout aggressive advice. They're dangerous power mad individuals. I wish they'd of tried to criticize me to my face. They're absolutely laughable

Great walks. Very photogenic and boat trips
Everything makes a lovely day out.

Smooth and efficient toll collection- 5 minutes and legal for another year!
