Hot weather closure of swing bridge

HERE comes the hot weather and so here come the closures!

The first is a closure of a swing bridge, Keith Gudgin reports.

With Victoria Basin Swing Bridge on the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal closed from today, Wednesday, owing to the heat.

Strangely

But strangely the trust tells 'boaters are welcome to contact it should you like to discuss this information with a member of our Customer Service Team at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

It is not stated for what reason boaters should call. Perhaps an opening of the swing bridge can be arranged...
