I hope that you will include this email, I ask because others will not, but I was absolutely amazed when I got to the Calder & Hebble to discover that it was still closed.
Just how much time does Canal & River Trust need to re-open the navigation, that was closed last year? I can understand that there is work to do after that flood, but learning that it will be at least August until it is open beggars belief.
We we all know about the Trust's promises and statistics don't we? I believe we will be lucky if it gets completed in August as it promises. My annoyance is because it took a great deal of swapping about to get up on to these waterways, with other crews involved, and I was stupid enough to believe that seven months would have been long enough to clear the navigation. How wrong I was.
