Just picked this up ( New Years Eve) from Staffordshire fire and rescue
🚨 Please be aware we currently have crews in attendance at the Boat Inn, Cannock Road, Penkridge. The bridge over the canal has collapsed therefore, the road is currently closed for pedestrian and vehicular access at this time whilst we work with our partners at the Canals & River Trust.
Talk about punch drunk …. The canals are in such a sad state right now. We’ve been boating a long time and I can’t recall a time where there was so many incidents. Maybe I didn’t hear of them back in the day? Let us hope this is a manageable and repairable incident and is being over exaggerated otherwise the four counties might be another casualty for cruising next year.
