THOUGH only Wednesday, there are two more closures on the system already this week and Braunston Elsan disposal is blocked again, Keith Gudgin reports.
The Caldon Canal was closed on Monday owing to problems with the lock ladder on Hazelhurst Top Lock at its junction with the Leek Branch 'until further notice'.
The Leeds & Liverpool was closed yesterday (Tuesday) yet again with problems with a swing bridge, this time Methodist Swing Bridge (15) at Maghull.
Elsan
And for the 'umpteenth' time the Elsan at Braunston Stop House is blocked again, with calls from boaters, exasperated at the ever failing system to put in a new one that is more reliable.
