- Additional Information
- A water point is located above Christleton Lock, a short distance away near bridge 122. The nearest facilities, including pump-out, toilet, elsan and refuse disposal, are in the city basin, approx two miles away by boat. Vehicle access to this site is not possible and car parking is not available. Customers will need to make alternative arrangements. A Trust key is required for the site which is secured by a locked half pedestrian gate. This is a leisure site and is determined by us to be a mooring site for the storage of boats between leisure use, customers may well spend weekends on this site, and occasionally longer periods, but it is not sold as, or intended to be suitable for long term residential use. This site does not have local authority planning consent for residential use, neither does it have the level of facilities and service expected of such a mooring. As such the offer that we have is only intended to meet the needs of a leisure boater.
