BOATERS, BUSINESSES AND CAMPAIGNERS have complained to the BBC about the continuous closures of the Erewash Canal.

They are calling for more to be done after the Erewash Canal 'has faced leaking locks, low water levels, repeated closures and a lack of maintenance'.

Affecting

The  Erewash Canal Association told the BBC closures were affecting wildlife, businesses and boaters and were asking for better communication from the Canal & River Trust.

Already this month the Erewash was closed by low water on the 6th, then the stoppage was further extended on he same day. It was then closed on both the 9th and is presently closed on the 18th due to low water. 

The people certainly have reason to complain.
