Just had this stoppage. Looks like CRT haven’t done a thing about the leaking gates...I don’t hold out much hope of the navigation staying open over the summer!!

They've had almost 6 months to sort that out. If nothing else they should re-instate the locks on the paddles to try to remove the yoof element. 

Yes!! I’m less than impressed it won’t be fixed till Monday....what happened to 7 day working? You’d be a bit miffed if you’d had a run out for the weekend!! It’s really not looking good for the summer.....

Totally unacceptable - this canal/arm really seems to be under constant threat - why don't they understand how much people use/love it - it was failing last year during the season, didn't someone put it on a list!

Keep up the good work! 

Do CART read these "use related" posts does anyone know ..............................
