Freshers, don’t be fooled by the sweet charms of touts – punt companies are often violent, abusive and in fierce competition with each other
River chiefs are cracking down on illegal punting companies, which will be banned from operating on the Cam next year.
Thugs have used concrete to sink two punts worth £10,000, raising fears of an escalating ”turf war” between rival operators.
An emergency congestion tax is being imposed on wide punts on the River Cam to avoid ‘PUNT RAGE’ at peak times.
