Victor returns

OUR Victor, seemingly aroused from his Bermuda stupor by the happening back home, particularly the increasing number of outlandish claims, has deemed to let us have his views.

Canal to lose battle site

'EXPERTS' have now decided that the site of the Battle of Bosworth is in the wrong place, not where the Ashby Canal passes, but a mile away!

Council block wharf houses

LEEDS City Council have plans to block housing on the city's wharves on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and Aire & Calder Navigation.

Police drone grounded

Want more Broads visitors

IT SEEMS it is not only British Waterways who want more visitors, but the Broads Authority too are going all-out to promote its waterways.

Another Trent waterside plan

THERE have been no few plans put forward for the area of the Trent below Nottingham, with none coming to fruition, but now there's another one.

Trying to reasure boaters

BOTH Skipton Town Council and the  Chamber of Trade have stated that the town is not a 'no-go' area for boaters, as many are now refusing to stay after so many attacks.

Canal as conservation area

THERE are plans to turn the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal into a designated conservation area.

Saving canalside pottery

MANY boaters cruising through Stoke on the Trent & Mersey Canal will have noticed  Middleport Pottery, by the side of the waterway, which is now in danger of closure.

Another lock restoration

The Wey & Arun Canal Trust's restoration scheme will take another significant step forward when Devil's Hole Lock is reopened in April.
