That's what they said about Reeds Bridge on the Arm, dismantled in 2014 and still not rebuilt at approx cost of £1.2m+ PROW severed. – at Diksmuide, België
Seems, according to to CRT that these cracks are OK "Based on our observations to date, the cracks have not shown evidence of significant deterioration or progressive widening".

Trenches Bridge, No 8 Slough Arm Grand Union canal showing serious cracks in brickwork. Important bridge as it has a public footpath an National Cycling Network over it as well as the old carriage route from Windsor Castle to hunting grounds of Langley Park. @CanalRiverTrust

What cost accessibility? Too often organisations like Network Rail look at cheaper stepped bridges over fully accessible ramped bridges. Public inquiry involving ‘discriminatory and bonkers’ £3m footbridge to go ahead kentonline.co.uk/ashford/new… – at Lewisham, London

For last few years our cresent in @LewishamCouncil has held a car free day event to let children play in the road in relative safety & residents get together. Unfortunately no permission from council this year, strange given we now have a @LewishamGreens administration. – at Lewisham, London

Theres supposed to be water point at the Slough Canal basin but it was dismantled a while back. @CRTSouthEast aware but don't seem particularly interested in issuing a closure notice (via stoppage system) or removing it from @CanalRiverTrust facilities map. Can someone advise? – at Camberwell, London

Seems like good news from Arlington, home of @eastbournespeed and stock cars. Spedeworth Motorsports have agreed a new lease for Arlington Stadium. @UprightSpeedway @speedwaystarmag – at Lewisham, London

3'ish minute conversation on Restore Britain's new 'transport' spokesman. Not one mention of trains, buses, walking or public transport in general. Just motorists. – at Lewisham, London
I'm delighted to welcome @HowardCCox to Restore Britain as our Transport Spokesperson - through FairFuelUK, Howard has helped to keep fuel duty frozen for sixteen consecutive years. A proven track record of delivering for motorists. We are building a properly qualified team.

Very disappointing response from @CanalRiverTrust about the 'existing' water point on the Slough Arm of the GU canal. Provision of services on isolated sections of the system encourage less isolation. Obviously not a priority for @CRTSouthEast – at Lewisham, London

One of the key @CanalRiverTrust crossing of the Pennines has been closed since March, doesn't look likely to be reopened anytime soon. The rest of the canal looks in a very sorry state. Goes without saying that the Huddersfield Narrow is closed too. – at Lewisham, London
