A POUND ON A KENNET & AVON Canal has drained overnight
Yet Canal & River Trust tell that it will take days to fill.
The pound is between Picketsfield Lock 71 an Cobblers Lock 72 (pictured) near Hungerford but only half a mile long, and seems strange that it will take days to fill.
'Paddles left open'
The excuse given is that the 'paddles have been left open'. But as we all know a boater can leave paddles open when leaving a lock but hardly then going back to open the remaining!
And why it will take several days to refill is not told.
However the result is that the pound on the Kennet & Avon in closed to navigation.
