FOLLOWING an announcement some four months ago, a petition to appoint a Receiver has finally been submitted to the courts to deal with the winding up of OwnerShips Ltd.

THE  closing of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal has resulted in an health warning as toxic algae takes over the stagnant waterway.

IT WAS announced today (Wednesday) by the  Government that its grants to British Waterways will be drastically reduced.

ANOTHER breach has once again closed the Mon & Brec Canal, with the waterway planked-off.

A CREW of seven boaters ended up well and truly stuck  in their narrowboat on the Trent as they missed the entrance to the Trent & Mersey Canal at Derwent Mouth.

THIEVES swooped on the moorings by the Ash Tree pub at Rugeley on the Trent & Mersey Canal in the middle of the night breaking into 12 boats.

WITH the discovery of a woman's body in the Oxford Canal on Tuesday, the police cordoned off  the waterway, resulting in chaos for boaters.

THE CON is British Waterways telling all and sundry that its property portfolio was contributing some £45 millions towards maintaining our canals—it is not.

THERE is every possibility that the Gloucester Waterways Museum will be sacrificed for the sake of Ellesmere Port and Stoke Bruerne museums.

BOATER Graham Phillips just managed to get his boat into the last space at Braunston one day last week at 2pm, yet by 5pm he tells us it was completely deserted!

REGARDED by many as the Heart of the Waterways, Braunston is well on the way to becoming a no-go area for boaters, due to the activities of criminals.

A LEAKING canal is causing thousands of gallons of water to pour from a hole in a main road in Blackburn.
