Replying to @CanalRiverTrust
@CanalRiverTrust @CRTWestMidlands are these moorings in Ladywood on the main line still reserved? They are signed but there’s no stoppage and very little activity?

@CanalRiverTrust @CRTWestMidlands Sadly there is a deceased deer at ///rescue.moods.violin on #CoventryCanal to the side of #GlascoteBasin foot bridge/entrance. It was drifting down to the lock gates as we set off to move. #BoatsThatTweet #KeepCanalsAlive #LifesBetterByWater

It's in the hedgerow out of sight and covered in some left over cuttings.

The appeal went live earlier looking for a man that not only exposed himself but worse on the #BirminghamFazeleyCanal at #Minworth. Police are urging anyone that sees him to call 101 quoting 20/476737/25. #BoatsThatTweet #KeepCanalsAlive #LifesBetterByWater #FundBritainsWaterways
