It's obvious that almost no-one is using the basin and (with my Caldon & Uttoxeter Canals Trust hat on) I'm curious to get people's views about why they don't use this stunningly beautiful location. Clearly the Tunnel is an issue, but even people who get through the tunnel tend to wind above the lock and don't drop into the basin. CUCT and BW recently met on site and are jointly going to do work to remove the weed that has grown due to the lack of use and also tidy up the pedestrian areas around the basin but is there anything else we should be thinking about to tempt you to stay here? The relevant point here is that more boat movements would help slow the growth of weeds which are flourishing in the still clear water.
