WORK has commenced on the stoppage at Kilby Lock (30) on the Leicester Section.
We are told the contractors discovered that the cill was non existent! But where has it gone? Asks Keith Gudgin when reporting.
Heavy leakage
Should this be correct it would explain the heavy leakage that made the lock inoperable.
However work has commenced, but we are told that there can be no time frame for when the cill replacement can be completed.
In addition to boaters stuck here there are still boaters stuck at the closure of Birstall Lock.
