Pete of Ebor Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 We regularly see pictures of drained canals with this sort of rubbish. Does anyone (eg C&RT and/or local canal vollies) ever actually use the obvious opportunity to actually get it out and dispose of it, or does it get left there 'cos it hasn't ben a problem.. yet ?

MtB Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Two things strike me about this video: 1) How deep the water is. CRT would NEVER do this with a waterway that deep! Boats with 2ft draft would have to be bumping over the piles of bikes before CRT accept there is any sort of a problem. 2) The Dutch obviously have no respect for their waterways either, using them as a rubbish dump just like we do.

Jen-in-Wellies Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 People seem to have this irresistible urge to chuck stuff in water.

Unlike a sword I don't think it would be very easy to murder some one with a supermarket trolly, but you never know - where there's a will, and all that.

It would be harder to remove the rubbish as it's easier to have the equipment to remove the rubbish and to put it somewhere to be floating (as the video above shows!).

mark99 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) This is here-say I appreciate but the foreman of the works we did near here told me the CaRT refilled that bit of canal without clearing the rubbish in the cut. The CaRT contractor comment being it was not their job to clear the cut. The rubbish is pictured in the first post.
