Celebrating our Titford Pools Regeneration project today in partnership with BCNS in Titford by the canal.

A big THANK YOU to our operations team colleagues @AaronAtwal2@CRT_Lee Maciej & Simon who worked non stop yesterday to get the Land Rover out of the lock in #Tipton. Thanks also to @sandwellcouncil and the crane hire company for helping to make this happen. A great team effort!
The vehicle has safely been recovered from the water.
Very minimal damage to the lock & environment.
Oils & fluids from the vehicle have been contained within the lock & a team are dealing with it accordingly.

Factory Lock No 3 on the New Main Line Canal in #Tipton is closed as a car is in the lock. We're working on a plan to get this removed as quickly as possible. There are no signs of pollution yet but we will continue to monitor. @ExpressandStar
We're still buzzing from all the excitement from yesterdays Queen's Baton Relay in #Birmingham. If you came too please share your pictures with us. Looking forward to the opening ceremony later this evening and the @birminghamcg22 getting underway.

Our Kickstarters are doing a great job along the canal in #Wolverhampton. They've working with @AaronAtwal2 and team and have been painting lock gates and railings, removing vegetation, working with power tools and learning first aid and water safety. They're a great bunch 😃
Our new cohort of Government funded Kickstarters are in #Wolverhampton and are busy helping to get out community orchard ready for planting fruit trees. Once established the orchard will provide free fruit to the local community and boaters. @AaronAtwal2
Welcome to our new team of Kickstarters. The team will working with Trust colleagues and volunteers and will be covering the #Wolverhampton area as part of their placement with us. Good luck team. @CanalRiverTrust@AaronAtwal2
We've been working with a group from Community Payback to look after the canal in #Wolverhampton. The group have been working with @AaronAtwal2 and team on the #Wolverhampton Flight and cut back over grown trees and bushes, removed fly-tipped rubbish and litter. @MoJGovUK
Our operations team have been out along the #Walsall Canal replacing an old and rotten paddle stand at Aldridge Wharf. The team worked quickly to minimise disruption to boaters and swiftly replaced the gate with a brand new one. Great work from @AaronAtwal2 and team. @CRTBoating
Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands, led a litter pick on Saturday along the canals of central Birmingham.

Have you ever wondered how we change a lock gate or where the fish go when we drain the canal? If yes then watch our virtual open day films and learn about how we repaired Lock 3 at Ryders Green on the #Walsall Canal with @AaronAtwal2 @Lizey13 https://t.co/apuPrYy090
