> I notice that we have lost at least 4ft on the width of the canal, under a new bridge at Stoke on Trent, to a very wide towpath. It is now single file only for boats.
> The approach to Stoke bottom lock is a health & safety hazard. The drainage gullies are full of pigeon droppings and the towpath is a slimey slippery mess of bird droppings broken eggs & mud. There is water bubbling up through the concrete when the lock is being emptied. The rope ended up covered in aforesaid droppings and I was slipping & sliding hoping that I wasn't going to fall in it. ( Don't laugh)
> Some spikes under the bridge would stop the birds activity and once the gullies are cleared it could improve.
Is this not because the building works are still under way? I've not
been of a look in a while but not much looked "final" when I was there
last. Will try to take a look this weekend and maybe post some pics.
