NOW it's the second waterpoint out of action on the Coventry Canal.

The waterpoint failed yesterday, Tuesday, at Hartshill on the canal, Keith Gudgin reports.

No explanation is given for its failure, only that 'it is out of order'.

Another out of action

This follows the waterpoint being out of action at the services at the top of Glascote Locks also on the Coventry.

And this comes just a few weeks after the failure of the two waterpoints at Haywood Junction at the junction of the Trent & Mersey with the Staffs & Worcs.
