For the past few days there have been 3 BW work boats tied up below the bottom lock. This morning they have started putting in Armco. This will go from the weir below the lock moorings right round the corner, may be as far as Kent road bridge. Pilings will be back filled where necessary with dredging from the canal. When we returned from Rugby they had managed to put in about 4 feet so hate to think how long it is going to take them. But at least it will improve things here.
Paul was talking to a fisherman last evening and he reckons if the water level falls much more here they will shut the canal. The pumping station at Brinklow has been out of action for at least 3 years to move water into the canal from Brinklow reservoir. Can’t see it happening myself but then who am I to know tiddly squat.

They are lucky to have steel Armco, down at Berkhamsted they are getting a thin membrane and wooden stakes.
