THERE IS NO navigation to or from the South Stratford Canal to the Avon.
As the three locks at Preston Bagot locks, 36 to Lock 38 were closed at noon today, Keith Gudgin reports.
The reason of course is now the normal one of lack of water.
Grounded
At the moment boats are having difficulty in passage and there are boats grounded.
However we are told that the trust is managing water along the rest of the South Stratford waterway, with boats having passage.
This follows the Staffs & Worcs Canal and the South Oxford Canal having stoppages and stoppages extended on the Trent & Mersey Canal. All due to water shortage.
