Gloucester Docks G & S Canal

This is the situation now. Lots of people standing around looking at the water and a few actually look like they are working.

Just had a call from Gloucester docks office to say they are hoping to open the lock later today. I have been promised a callback as soon as the opening is confirmed.......

Just had the promised callback, but no information forthcoming on update of the reopening.... Asked me to call back in the morning.....

As of 4:30pm the web cam show the workboat still in the mouth of the lock.  Whilst they are still there, can’t really tell if they are actually doing anything at the moment.

6.30pm diver still down behind second gate blasting silt. Fair play, must be pretty grim task.

On the web cam they are moving the work boat into the lock.  Looking good for opening tomorrow.......

The first boat is going through now
