The only task party this month, weather cancelling the other, saw a crew of 12 split into 3 groups. The main group of 6 performed the scheduled lock maintenance of the flight. A pair addressed the towpath erosion at lock 5 with a temporary repair while the remaining 4 trimmed the hedges at lock2. The towpath side of the hedge had been trimmed sporadically by contractors but the top and garden side were long overdue for a cut. The hedge that BCS planted several years ago was also trimmed.
