UK canals

A volunteer-led restoration project in Gloucestershire to bring back a 'missing mile' of canal

Locks on the Grand Union canal in are closed at night in hopes of managing water levels downstream.

Canal & River Trust says the warmer climate is providing ideal conditions for fast-growing weed.

The canal cannot go along its old route, so volunteers are digging a new channel.

Organisers of two canal festivals are revealing how drought may be affecting their events.

Investigation works mean road closures for two nights and a closed waterway for a week.

Amy Cipriano, 44, is clearing waterways of an invasive weed after she started the new hobby.
