THE STAFFS & WORCS CANAL has been fairly free from of lack of water stoppages.
But with narrowboats being stuck it too has been closed, Keith Gudgin reports.
Due to low water
The closure is from Stourport to Kidderminster, with Canal & River Trust telling—'we have had to close the Staffordshire & Worcester Canal between Stourport, Bridge 4, Wallfield Bridge and Lock 6, Kidderminster Lock, (pictured) due to low water, boats have been getting stuck here'.
The closure of course is due to low water, with the trust running water through in an attempt to get the boats off the bottom.
Both the Staffs & Worcester and the Shropshire Union canals have been fairly free from stoppages during this exceptionally dry weather.
