I still haven't received a stoppage alert about this from Waterscape. Has anyone else? -- Martin Clark Hi Martin .. sorry about your unsuccessful wet search for the stoppage. I just passed on the information I was told by the Leeds office. They have put up the notice now http://www.waterscape.com/things-to-do/boating/stoppages/results?waterways%5B%5D=40&search_data_by%5B%5D=all&start_day=5&start_month=9&start_year=2009&end_period=all&end_day=5&end_month=9&end_year=2009&show_one_page=1&subtn=+Find+Stoppages+ 04 Sep 2009 - 13 Nov 2009 Stoppage: Lock 14 East - Huddersfield Narrow Canal Associated Regional Office: BW Yorkshire Due to a breach of the ground paddle culvert and leakage through the lock wall, into neighbouring factory buildings at Lock 14E, the Huddersfield Narrow Canal will be closed from Lock 1E to Lock 21E for approximately 10 weeks. This is because the pound above the lock has been drawn down to stem the flooding. Currently, engineers are investigating the problem and are hoping to issue an update on Wednesday 9th September, which will explain our findings and proposed plan. Boats will be unable to pass through Standedge Tunnel due to this stoppage and shortage of moorings between the tunnel and the affected area, any boat attempting to get back to moorings through the tunnel is advised to seek an alternative route. We apologise for the inconvenience caused (Enquiries: 0113 281 6860) John nb Charlotte Rose [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
