HERE'S a picture,received this morning of Lock 3 in Worcester that well shows the state of the waterways,
This is on the Birmingham & Worcester Canal and is all too often the case with locks having a paddle not working.
Lock closed
This of course means that as soon as the other breaks—or is 'damaged'—the lock is closed.
So then it has to be inspected, then a 'method of repair' be established then contractors on site, all taking days.
And us boaters well and truly stuck.
