Rufford, Lancashire. UK Weather. 8th April, 2020. Cirrocumulus clouds as the sunrises on what is expected to the hottest day of the week. Houseboat residents face another period of lockdown in their small craft moored on the Leeds Liverpool canal. More people are opting to live on houseboats than ever before, but without the same protections as house renters – leaving them vulnerable with loss of income if placed on furlough from their employment. Houseboat communities, who own their boats but not the moorings, and therefore have no legal right to stay. Credit: MediaWorldImages/AlamyLiveNews
