- hi there Was up at the A51 /A38 Junction today and was amazed at the proposals to install the canal under both the A38 and A51
- child like mind@ 9:58am 11-19-2011
- i prefer the canal in its present state, its more interesting looking for bits of it and imagining how it was..

Dear Sirs, are your aware that some irresponsible hooligan has barged through the hedge by Lock 18 and dumped tons of waste on the towpath?

Thanks for letting us know Mr Tyson. No, we were not aware of this. We will investigate.

- general query@ 1:29pm 06-27-2011
- hi folks, how come the section of the wyrley and essington canal from ogley hay to huddlesford (now lichfield canal) became unused to the point of infilling and almost lost forever? it is obviously or will be an important connection to the midlands waterways. what is left of it passes through some nice countryside.
- tony mac@ 5:34pm 06-23-2011
- wow it looks like journey from new oscott on the train to see watered section for me...i am an avid canal fan and have been following restoration of lich canal for sometime (visiting accessible parts etc..) all the best
- 'face in a crowd'@ 8:29pm 05-21-2011
- hi we met one of your representatives at the brilliant site in Lichfield, we know occasionally you hold events and would like to contribute our services , better at face painting than bricklaying so it seemed wise to offer this rather than the other.

Hello Nigel. Thanks for contacting us via our website Guestbook. We do already have someone doing facepainting at our boat gathering in September, but if you would like to email more details to info@lhcrt.org.uk I might be able to pass it on to organisers of other local events.

Steven, thanks for your message on our guestbook.
Volunteers are always welcome. I have passed your message on to Bob Williams who will get back to you.

- Looking forward to the re-watering of this section - a historic moment which will hopefully be generously covered by the Lichfield Mercury etc. I'll have to get my inflatable canoe onto the waterway to be the first to use it.....

As of today, March 12th, I have noticed the past few days that work is visible from the A38 north and south bound carriageways.
My very best wishes for this current stage of the restoration works.
Hopefully "Dave", who obviously has never seen a "bombsite", lives by the proposed HS2 route which will give him something more important to complain about - if he prefers 4mph narrow boats to 250mph trains! -

Thanks for your kind remarks Ian.
We shall see water in a section of Tamworth Road very soon now. Getting the funding together with all the necessary consents takes a lot longer than the actual work does, but it will all be worth it!
