@narrowboatproj Beautiful morning light 😍

@NorthShropCops @TimManton2 do you remember Boat Watch, an initiative by your WestMercial colleagues a few years ago? Like Neighbourhood watch for canals. Is it worth a chat about reviving it?

@UnderwaterMedia @rivercide_live @RiverActionUK @CleanIlkley @NormaCKH @Alan_Lamb17 Canals too, we've had a major fish death incident here in Shropshire the past few days but no sign of any interest from @CRTFisheries or @EnvAgency

[TalbotWharf @TalbotWharf]

@tranquilityno7 That's superb!

[TalbotWharf @TalbotWharf]

@ShropArchives yushull is usual, I think

[TalbotWharf @TalbotWharf]

@EnvAgency @CRTContactUs @NC3FXX @petermjohns 5 days later and there are still dead fish floating past in the canal. Is anyone going to follow this up? #pollution

[TalbotWharf @TalbotWharf]

@AlfieAfloat @ShropshireStar Good news confirmed today is that it's not going to be tarmac. Our pooch paws will be safe 🐾

[TalbotWharf @TalbotWharf]

.@ShropshireStar we've just had the devastating news that our much hoped-for summer trade will be decimated by a three-month closure of the canal towpath and moorings in #marketdrayton. Couldn't have been planned at a worse time.

.@YorkshireTea There's an horrific comment in @guardian about brewing tea with water at 80 degrees. Can you confirm the best temperature for a proper brew?

[TalbotWharf @TalbotWharf]

@nb_Snowgoose Oh, good to see those old adverts! Simpler times :-)

[TalbotWharf @TalbotWharf]

@nb_Snowgoose @mike_hooz Our thoughts exactly! Now if they were improving the towpath from Drayton up to Tyrley, I'd understand it!

Still reeling from fact that Sajid Javid is a career banker & paid senior adviser to JP Morgan - who happens to be a major player in private healthcare.

Safe in his hands?

The NHS as we know it has never been more threatened.

The towpath might be closed (well done @CanalRiverTrust ) but our business will be open.

[TalbotWharf @TalbotWharf]

@floating_craft @CRTnotices The irony is that they have their own perfectly capable maintenance staff, but in the pretence of cost effectiveness would rather give the work to third party contractors.

[TalbotWharf @TalbotWharf]

@AlfieAfloat Thanks Sharon <3

[TalbotWharf @TalbotWharf]

@floating_craft @CRTnotices We suggested this to the Project team: they claimed the contractors couldn't make that work.

[TalbotWharf @TalbotWharf]

@tranquilityno7 @jimallthetime @ShropshireStar @OwenPaterson Ooh...I might email him

[TalbotWharf @TalbotWharf]

When you're looking forward to the first summer's trade for two years and CRT decide to close the towpath and visitor moorings for three months.
