The 'Canal Boat Blockage' campaign at the Top of Wheelton Top Locks, Leeds/Liverpool Canal, went particularly well yesterday with Wheelton Boat Club.

On Saturday we achieved three live interviews on BBC Radio Lancashire. One which was periodically repeated throughout the morning, approx six times and in News Bulletins. Total air time around 15 mins. Also current coverage on the BBC Radio Lancashire Web Site. Wednesday 28th February Quarter Page Covering Press Release and Photo in The Chorley Citizen www.chorleycitizen.co.uk Press coverage and photos still to be published probably Monday or Tuesday in the Chorley Guardian, Blackburn Chronicle, and Lancashire Evening Post. We are expecting a quarter page spread with photographs in each publication.

Number of signatures collected supporting the campaign was 279.

Sunday - poor weather virtual washout.
