IT WAS last Thursday the 6th that the Rochdale was closed again.
It is closed at Lock 87 on the 'Rochdale Nine' in Manchester owing to the heel post becoming disconnected from the towpath side tailgate, Keith Gudgin reports.
Method of repair
At that time we were told that the fault had been investigated and was awaiting until the usual 'method of repair' was being organised.
There was to be an update today, Monday, but as yet nothing has been forthcoming.
Since the 1st of June there have been five stoppages of varying lengths on the Rochdale Canal.
