Borrowford locks CRT making a difference ?

[jonathanA]

Went through barrowford locks good Friday returning today ( in the snow !!!) and nearly fainted every piece of paddle gear was working and copious quantities of grease in evidence....

 

A number of gates have been replaced over winter and the lock keeper last summer seemed to make quite a difference too.

 

I think there really has been an marked increase in maintenance on this part of the L&L in the last few years as CRT seem to have directed some long overdue money this way.

Vince Moran is responsible for that. In 2014 he specifically stated that the North was being neglected in favour of the south. He set out to rectify that, and obviously it's paid off to a certain extent.

Must be due to the northern powerhouse. Lol
