But we have new logos, shiny blue new logos, propagating around the system. All is well!

It just smacks to me of what happened a few years after the railways were privatised, everything put out to contract with very few checks (and those checks that were done were either done by people who didn't have the experience or where ignored by 'management'). Sadly on the railways that caused loss of life. Thankfully the loss of life changed things somewhat (although some of the lessons have/are beginning to be forgotten again).
All seems very sad to me because I don't see boaters and/or boater organisations ever getting together to become a cohesive group (which means putting some of the past behind them) until the situation significantly worsens.
I could attack individuals or organisations about the lack of a cohesive response but that would never help achieve what I'd like to see.

To be fair to CaRT, the breach appears to be into a culvert running under the canal. I don't see how, while the leak was developing, and before total failure, this would result in a waterlogged part of a field, unless the watercourse flowing through the culvert was blocked.

Culverts are C&RT assets, like locks, bridges, tunnels etc.
They are subject to routine inspection to ensure safety (at least that is the information given to me by C&RT staff).
I would hope that an area of dampness around a culvert being reported, would quickly involve an additional inspection.
As with virtually everything in life, a problem ignored can only get worse.
I would be interested to view any records of inspections of culvert 29, and any reports of leakage before making a sound judgement.
But superficially I would have hoped this sort of thing would be caught by early intervention and preventative maintenance.

I think you are wrong with this. A near permanent wet patch where it is not expected needs investigating, landowners normally investigate first (and if they have any sense will investigate blockages that they can see. It normally takes a significant concern before the landowner will contact an Authority (mainly because once you do you might end up with a considerable bill yourself).

Sorry I have been concentrating on trying to keep the boat going straight, birdbrain.

Maybe it was a leek that turned into a big leek. Bloody Welsh and nature.
