A good effort, and an interesting looking event too: https://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/news/cleanup-carried-out-before-leamington-canal-festival-s-revival-1-8538184 |

Sadly, many people use the canals as dumps. This is a good effort and I agree, the event does look to be interesting. Incidentally, the Coventry canal between Sutton Stop and the basin was virtually un-navigable at one time, it's now reasonably obstruction free thanks to volunteers. |

It's the same with a lot of places. Stratford canal would have been closed down completely in the 1950's if it wasn't for a couple of canoeists waving their canal permits in the faces of the pen-pushers & starting a campaign to restore it: http://www.stratfordcanalsociety.org.uk/history.html |
