A Busy Day At The Canal

A Busy Day At The Canal

A huge thank you from OWPC goes to all those who took part in the first ever community canal work day. The weather was kind to us, the hard core was delivered in plenty of time and Sonny King from the Canal and River Trust arrived with his “comfort van!” (Mobile refreshments and toilet). Just over a dozen residents turned out, armed with trowels, spades, shovels and wheelbarrows. In less than 2 hours about 50 yards of towpath was repaired, amidst much camaraderie and exchanging of news. All of us went home with a real sense of achievement and talking cheerfully of the next opportunity. Around 15 of you have committed to the next event, which is scheduled for the 8th. October, so this looks set to be a productive morning also.
