THE Aubrey's Lift Bridge (221) on the Oxford Canal has failed closing the waterway..
This was closed because the bridge stopped halfway through its operational cycle, Keith Gudgin reports.
It was in a rather precarious position so required urgent attention, with workers quickly on hand, and it is now operational again.
Erewash Canal
The Erewash Canal was reopened yesterday, Tuesday, where it was closed through lack of water.
It was between Hallam Fields Lock 66 and Stanton Lock 65 where the water was too low for navigation, but water has been let down the canal and the pound is now full.
This pound is often without enough water for navigation, being blamed on vandals each time.
