THE two broken paddles on Wardle Lock have been repaired.
The paddles are on the lock that connects the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal to the Trent & Mersey Canai, and it has now reopened, Keith Gudgin reports.
The Trust is pleased
Canal & River Trust confirm this, telling: We are pleased to advise the repair to Lock 1 (Wardle Lock) on the Shropshire Union Canal, Middlewich Branch has been successful, and navigation has resumed.
But as Keith adds: It would have been better if they had repaired the first broken one last week.
Then no stoppage
Then of course there would have been no stoppage.
