Boaters bid to claim Oxford's Jericho waterfront stretch

A group of boaters has defended its decision to take over a stretch of the waterfront at Jericho in Oxford.

The houseboat owners say nobody owns the land, and they are hoping to make a claim for it.

The group says it has done work to improve the area, but some local residents say its boats are in the way and are an eyesore.
