THE Huddersfield Narrow Canal is having it rough for boaters.

With yet another closure yesterday, Thursday, this makes it the seventh this month, Keith Gudgin reports.

'Damage' blamed

And again 'damage' is blamed for the stoppage at Lock 3W, this time to a paddle and a severe leak through the gates that is affecting safe operation.

This time we are told a team and engineers have been informed and are on their way.

This means that Lock 1W to Lock 4W are padlocked to prevent navigation.
