Victor in trouble again!
OUR Victor did not do too well this time, with Trevor Mapstone putting him right by writing:
Volunteers have not taken jobs
REFERRING to the following statement by Victor, Giles Williams writes:
Big Lock footbridge engineers get award
THE engineers who undertook the repair work on the Big Lock footbridge have won an award.
Victor asks 'what are these 'emergency works'?
TIME and time again we are told that the winter stoppage cancellations are due 'to the impact of emergency works'.
Now its nine winter works cancelled
THREE more 'urgent' winter works have been cancelled making it a total of nine so far.
Coping with extreme weather
THOUGH at present the lack of rain is a problem, soon there will be too much, causing floods.
Canal maintenance and repair must be continuous
FURTHER to the observations made by contributor James Henry (narrowboatworld 24th November), I am a little perplexed (understatement), writes Orph Mable.
Cath gets second volunteer award
VOLUNTEER Cath Nunn who received an award for her team work at Tuel Hill Flight has bagged a further award from Canal & River Trust.
Was it a con?
WITH already six of the winter stoppages cancelled was the original list a con to impress the powers that be asks James Henry?
Month later but still no start on K&A breach
It is four weeks since the breach on the Kennet & Avon at Reading, but a permanent repair has not even started.
