Anderton Lift to open—but not yet
IT WAS last Friday that narrowboatworld pointed out the 'shambolic situation' at present with the Anderton Boat Lift.
A bodge job
IT SEEMS that Roger Fox was correct when he suggested that the repair to Watford Lock would be a bodge.
The 'green men'
YOUR mention of the 'green men' brought back memories of those days when the canals were at their best, writes T. Lang.
Obstruction removed from Rochdale Nine
THE obstruction preventing a lock from being operated on the Rochdale Nine has been removed.
Cannot blame CaRT
I can understand Sheila Hawkins’ concern about the ‘pushers’ on the Worcester & Birmingham Canal, writes Martin Howes.
Who is kidding who?
The picture [of the damaged lock gate at Watford Flight] shows clearly the failure of the timber around the collar of the gate in question, writes Roger Fox.
Deathly silence
WITH all the publicity surrounding those women being pushed into the Worcester & Birmingham Canal why not any response from Canal & River Trust asks Sheila Hawkins?
Another warning about the Soar
AND still they come—warnings about that sand bank on the Soar.
Yobs have time on their hands
I NOTICED that the gang indulging in the pastime of pushing young women into the canal are judged to be between 14 and 17 writes Jim Cracken.
