Received an e mail from C&RT today suggesting water is an issue on the L&L canal (behind us I'm pleased to say) and that boater's should implement the THRIFT code.
Part of this includes 'reporting all leaks to C&RT'.
Sorry, but that's every lock on the canal isn't it?
I'm sure they are aware of all the cill fountains and wall voids.
Quite gobsmacked!

Rog Look Rog they don't have any pennies left to repair all the leaky locks...in fact only some of their workforce sport the new logo ...but they have managed to scrape together the cash to paint the new logo all along the Towpath in London with the lovely message 'Cut the pace, share the space'..or summit like that |

Rog I think we should all take their request to heart and do just that, . . accompanied, of course, by a request for a realistic estimate for the time they anticipate it will take to fix them all ! |

 This is caused almost daily apparently - all because 1 gate paddle needs attention - in the old days, When it was empty, the bw/crt staff would have just nailed a bit more plywood onto the offending paddle to afford a temporary repair.... alas, they are not allowed to do that any more we were told. |
