THE EREWASH CANAL is closed again with low water levels.
Nothing to do with the 'climate change' but the pound between locks 62 and 63 at Sandiacre is closed, Keith Gudgin reports.
The Erewash has had many stoppages this year, before and now, after the long stoppage caused by lack of rain in the reservoirs.
Not to navigate
The closure is due to low water levels between Sandiacre Lock and Dockholme Lock, with boaters asked not to navigate this pound between the two locks whilst levels recover.
With so many closures on this waterway, it surely points to it having leaks.
The photograph was taken when we cruised the Erewash, but did not get very far owing to it leaking.
