Tracy D'arth Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 It will be water saving or vandalism. Its become a habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Marshall Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Maintenance is well behind now. They may get repaired over winter... They don't bother on the T&M until the second paddle gets bust, umless it's a psired lock in which case they don't bother at all until the second lock gives up the ghost..

StephenA Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 We noticed Wharton's was a bit slow when we went through it the other day - one paddle didn't seem to be doing a lot, but Beeston Stone was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand the water saving reason. Shirley, It’s gotta to be better to fill a lock quickly rather than slowly, while water is leaking out the bottom gates. ?¿? It’s really just neglect.

I notified CRT on Tuesday. They came yesterday and wound their yellow tape round the paddle. A label on the paddle at Tilstone is dated 14th August, saying it will be fixed in two weeks. Latest stoppage notice says it will be fixed next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dor Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Wharton's was a problem with the cogs. Beeston the paddle seems to have dropped off the rod so will take a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dor Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Tilstone being fixed tomorrow (closed 07:00 - 11:00). No word on Beeston Stone which badly needs doing. Edited October 1, 2020 by dor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
