Important tidal mooring still not repaired

IT WAS the winter flooding of the tidal Trent in January that caused the visitor moorings to be damaged.

This meant the safety of boaters was put at risk as the moorings could not be used in case of an emergency and no possibily of mooring on the river's banks. as Keith Gudgin reported at the time.

Canal & River Trust realised the danger, and at that time though told that 'due to recent flooding, the Northern side of the pontoon on Dunham visitor moorings is currently stuck up out of the water and is not safe for our customers to use'.
