I have created the following Facebook group... https://www.facebook.com/groups/2797472143803504/?ref=share

Thanks for the replies above. I think getting a group together would be a good idea. I doubt ABP would allow leisure craft to pen through with commercial traffic however coordinating things to get as many boats as possible in a single lock seems sensible and approaching ABP with this proposal... I'm happy to start kicking things off with this if it has not already been considered.

I am new to the forum, Hi to all. Apologies, if, after a search on the forum of I have missed a discussion on this. After speaking with CRT I am up to date with current estimated timescales for when the section of Aire & Calder directly affected by the breach will reopen. Given this is a number of months I started enquiries with regards to passage through Ocean lock. ABP (Associated British Ports) have informed me that there will be no passage for Liesure craft for the foreseeable future. Upon further action and communication from CRT, passage for Liesure craft will be reviewed. Water conservation being ABPs reason to not allow passage for Liesure craft. I was directed to speak to CRT for further info. As ABP are awaiting communication from CRT with regards to supplying adequate volumes (not to be confused with water level) to the dock. Following a further conversation with CRT I was informed by them that there is currently no intention to complete further works to increase the amount of water being pumped around the cofferdam at the breach site during the works to repair the breach. CRT have said they are meeting 'the agreed' volume of water being supplied around the cofferdam and that current water levels at the dock are being managed by ABP. CRT have directed me back to Ocean Lock as they have said its up to ABP when to allow passage to Liesure craft, and as far as they are concerned they have done everything on their part to allow Ocean Lock to opperate. When I speak to ABP, they are then directing me back to CRT. CRT are then directing me back to ABP.... I'm sure you get the picture. Has anyone got any further than this please, I seem to be getting nowhere!
