Is someone having a laugh?

I'm no structural engineer or builder, and I know budgets are tight..

But this has got to be a piss take at CRTs expense.

The bucket is necessary because the bank is to unstable to take a post. It is the inevitable sticking plaster to cover the main problem. I still wouldn't want to take a chance on relying on it for support, but when it fails, if you are around, you could get an effective mudweight to replace unstable mooring rings or bollards.😁

The bank is perfectly stable, the old ones are rotten.

There's two buckets, below Stenson lock.

Have I got my dates wrong?

Are we still in March?

That looks like a completely new support so perhaps someone is trying to shame CRT to fix them properly.

How else, without the bucket, is the concrete going to stay in shape while it sets? What would you suggest, a cardboard box? 📦😁

Can quite read it but looks like a b&q 1 quid bucket. Enterprising I'd say...

Might make some sense if it was to stabilise an existing post that had broken off at ground level, but it looks like a new post.

My guess is they didn't have the time/tools/manpower to dig out the old foundation and do the job properly.

But at least when they do the proper job, they will have a handle to carry the temporary fix away!

It's on the long bucket list at crt maintenance sheet probably
