How do you misuse locks?

Published: Tuesday, 31 December 2024

THERE IS a new reason/excuse from Canal & River Trust for closing locks.

It is that 'there is overnight closure from 4pm to 8am to ensure navigation safety and water management due to misuse of locks across the Regent's Canal', as Keith Gudgin reports.

Two locks

This refers to both Salmons Lane Lock 11 and Commercial Road Lock 12

There is no explanation why these two locks are closed from 4pm overnight, and it seems strange that two locks should have been 'mismanaged' at the same time!

Perhaps a new year so new excuses, as it obviously is an excuse/reason to save water by closing the locks overnight.

But whatever next?
