ANOTHER waterway that will have a long closure is the Leeds & Liverpool.
The work to repair the broken culvert will not be completed until the 19th of August, Keith Gudgin reports.
The work concerns the repair to a culvert by Crabtree Swing Bridge (32) and New Lane Swing Bridge (31), with a safe working condition established, so that an excavator can get on to the site.
Erewash Canal
Erewash Canal is another navigation that is still blocked at Stanton Lock (85).
This has an obstruction preventing the gate from opening, that again is blamed on vandals, but it has been unable to be cleared.
So the local team needs more manpower and it is expected contractors will be brought in to clear the obstruction.
The lock also has a persistent leak on the bottom gates, with this scheduled to be attended to by a 'partner group'
