Canal & River Trust eyesore
The new British Waterways jetty at Isis Lock is not only an eyesore but makes it difficult for long boats to turn in the Isis Pool.

It has been described as 'container port engineering'; everything is overspecified, badly designed and ugly and is actually causing problems for the larger boats which turn there.
At Isis Lock, the cast iron bridge is an example of how the canals were built with attention to
function and appearance: qualities overlooked by the recent vandalism by British Waterways.
A large sum of money has been squandered (over £100,000) when we all know of other more urgent requirements. It's annoying that they washed their hands of the Castle Mill Boatyard and it's left in that state while they ruin the charm of the Isis Pool with something that was not wanted.
Boats have been turning here for over two hundred years, nobody round here saw a need to spend scarce resources on this area. We also question if they have a legal right to block a part of the river that has always had boat traffic.
We are asking the Council, the Preservation Trust and Civic Society to look at this with the aim of reducing the scale of this ridiculous 'blot on the landscape'.
