On April 10th some inconsiderate felon(s) broke onto a disability access charity boat moored on the River Stort at Harlow and stole a quantity of lifejackets and buoyancy aids.
The incident occurred on the Canal Boat Projects mooring just above Burnt Mill Lock on the River Stort, and the items were stolen from the accessible wide beam boat Stort Challenger. A total of 15 junior buoyancy aids, and 15 self inflating automatic lifejackets were stolen; all are Crewsaver, red in colour, and emblazoned with the Project's logo and the words "Canal Boat Project". (The logo consists of a canal bridge with the familiar disability logo alongside the profile of an oncoming boat. To see the logo please visit their website at www.canalboat.org.uk) Could I ask everybody to be on the lookout for anyone offloading these distinctive lifejackets and buoyancy aids, and if you hear of anything please contact the Project at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your help is much appreciated.
