IT WAS ON 5th of February that an investigation discovered that a paddle and paddle frame had collapsed, requiring replacement and repair, but no actual lock was stated, so perhaps somthing between.

As this was between Stegneck Lock and Bank Newton Bottom Lock on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, Keith Gudgin reports.

Then on the 19th February we were told the team has completed the investigation and determined that the paddle and paddle frame have collapsed. These components will need to be replaced and repaired, which could take up to two weeks.

Again

But yesterday, Wednesday 5th March' we were once again told the team has completed the investigation and determined that the paddle and paddle frame have collapsed! These components will need to be replaced and repaired, which could take up to two weeks.

How many more times will we be told the team has completed the investigation and determined that the paddle and paddle frame have collapsed. These components will need to be replaced and repaired, which could take up to two weeks?
