Ken Livingston Mayor of London.
These residential boats add to the diversity of the river and do not harm other residential amenity. Their location is consistent with my policy approach to the use of the river Thames as set out on the Blue Ribbon Network Annex of the independent Panel report following public examination.

I deplore the actions that Southwark Council is currently taking to evict these residents from the moorings at which they have long been established.

Jenny Jones Deputy Mayor of London.
These boats are a part of London that we all enjoy seeing. With all the regeneration that has happened on the South Bank over the years, and the loss of historic borough features, Southwark council should be even more concerned to preserve local colour and allow the boats to stay.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
The riverside culture that has developed over the past 18 years at Downings Roads Moorings is a rare and precious thing. The moorings are made up of real families and they are part of a real community with a unique and remarkable character of it's own.
