some slightly better ANT news, after 2 yrs of the Avon Lock at Tewkesbury being operated by volunteers during the summer months with limited hours and virtually closed throughout the winter, the Navigation Authority intend to re instate a paid lock keeper, hopefully this will mean all year round access and extended summer hours. i gather mid March is the intended start date
