The way its seems to be going at the moment, campaigning rally's may be the next step, or starting to do buy a brick donations like Chrshire Rose started for the Chesterfield so badly eroded locks can be repaired properly, rather than just the specific 127 bricks identified on the worksheet for replacement 9 months earlier.
The classic example of this is one of the Buckby locks, emergency protected and cavities filled with sprayfoam and an iron sheet slung over the worst eroded areas.
The lock was closed(in a flight of 7) for 6 weeks.
The work done by CRT contractors specifically repaired the zone protected and didn't extend anywhere else in the lock, even though many other areas SHOULD, and COULD have been attended to in the time of the locks stoppage. The same lock will need major works soon.
This is evident all over the system now, unless navigation is stopped, nothing is fixed. If the South Oxford has a paddle broken on a lock, never mind, there is another, don't fix it unless both aren't working and then do a press release on swift repairs.
I move boats all year round and are seeing new leaks in locks, new sink holes in towpaths, new missing bricks in locks and other things that are frankly a simple fix at the early stage, and a massively expensive(although media friendly)fix when they finally collapse,breach,subside etc.
This isn't pro-active, this is reactive with a media slant - ignoring boaters needs - the only real paying customers they have.
