For nearly 200 years this treasured part of Oxford’s historic waterways has served well supplying coal to Oxford’s fireplaces. More recently, thanks to previous save the canal campaigns, business with pleasure have proliferated. Now, thanks ironically to a new British Waterways safety policy, the people visiting and nearby are suffering the many hazards and visual blight of a boom, pontoon and unguarded sheer drop onto it. The toll of pain so far is two people overboard, minor ‘bloody’ injury, boat collisions, and narrow escapes to novice from being impaled by nearly snapped boat pole, and this is from two people of the many that have witnessed further problems.
