Why has it closed without notice? "The facility is essential for boat maintenance for local boat owners and visitors to the town. It is necessary for boaters to maintain their boats so that they are safe and meet the BSS standards. They need dry dock hull painting every couple of years and the facility provides employment for local engineers and boat repairs/maintenance. The dry dock is chargeable and generates profit and costs very little maintenance, efficiency savings is not a reason. There's already a queue of boats needing to go into dry dock and there is nothing available locally. Failure to open it again will cause boats to fall into disrepair, cause danger as surveys cannot be carried out and will destroy the canal vibrancy that exists in the area. Either re-open it or sell it and keep it open until there is a buyer that agrees to continue to operate it. Perhaps the Canal and River Trust will take it on. Calderdale Council you CANNOT simply close it. It is like shutting all car MOT garages." This is the sort of thing that happens when a town is overrun with lesbians. Dikes are popular in flood risk areas. An update - Crt banksman posted one one of the fb threads that it's sprung a leak, it is being repaired. It is owned by Halifax Council, Roads dept. There used to be a filling station there, when it went they wondered what to do with the area, the hole were the tanks were etc, so turned it into a dry dock. Bronte Boats has been angling to take it over and manage it for years. |
