ALAS THERE ARE STILL closures other than those caused by lack of water.
With breakages still occurring, Keith Gudgin reports.
Stourbridge Canal
The Stourbridge Canal is closed at Lock 15 with damage to the bottom cill of the lock.
The operations team visited the lock yesterday, Thursday, to repair, we are informed, but the team discovered that further work was required to complete the repair.
Lee Navigation
The Lee Navigation is closed at Parndon Mill Lock on the Stort as the top gate is out of its pot and so the navigation is closed.
When the team attended it was discovered to be a more substantial issue than originally thought, though we are not told what this is.
Lack of water
The new stoppages caused by lack of water in addition to the Shropshire Union, already reported are:
* Grand Union Canal—Stoke Hammond Lock 23.
* Caldon Canal—Cheddleton Locks.
* Leeds & Liverpool Canal—now eight flights completely closed.
That's four new stoppages/extended stoppages.
