GOV.UK Lorem

Clear signage at the mooring sites sets out the conditions of their use. The only change to the existing conditions under the pilot scheme is that users must register their arrival with Thames Visitor Moorings, online or by phone, rather than with the local lock keeper. All other existing conditions and charges remain the same. At most sites, mooring for up to one day is free, all or part of a second or third day is £5 for each day, the daily rate from then on is £100.

The Low Pay Commission (LPC), the body that advises the Government on the level of the minimum wage, today welcomed the acceptance of its recommendations for the rates to apply from April 2017. These include a 4.2 per cent increase in the National Living Wage (NLW), the rate for workers aged 25 and over, from £7.20 to £7.50.

The UK government has also taken actions to support people that are just about managing throughout the UK. Fuel duty is frozen for the seventh successive year, which should save the average car driver in Scotland £10 each time they fill their tank. The National Living Wage is increasing from £7.20 to £7.50.

Devolution remains at the heart of this government’s approach to supporting local growth, and we recommit today to our City deals with Swansea, Edinburgh, North Wales and Tay Cities – and I can announce today we’re beginning negotiations on a city deal for Stirling.
