Staveley Basin would be great for a model boat club to make use of, while sitting empty of canal boats

Hopefully won't be too long until there are boats on there.

 

On a separate note we noticed they are working on repairing the canal wall in Worksop Town centre at long last. So hopefully that can fully reopen again before too long.

They aren't letting private boats on there!!! Someone has tried recently, there boat is on the side at the riding club and they asked the council for permission to put her in and were refused

 A lot of work required before boats will be able to moor there or have any real distance to travel I think.
