Can’t quite agree with the river trust man. Remove rubbish yes, but the silt is also a problem. Get a mechanical grabber in there. It will have to be done at some time.
He said to dredge a canal would be environmentally invasive. So under what circumstances does the canal trust dredge, because this canal looks ripe and ready, regardless. Another way to bypass maintenance costs. Local authorities use the same excuse to avoid tree pruning, ie birds nests.
As someone who's managed multiple projects .. this whole "manual" item by item cleanup would drive me nuts! It's a very inefficient way to clean up the canal. You need some machinery to start scoping stuff in mass and getting them into waiting dump trucks. But maybe I'm missing the point. I wonder if a year later they got it clean.
they said in the video that its the best way of preserving the ecosystem of the canal area, dredging it could cause essential habitat loss and environmental destruction. These are heritage canals, important historical landmarks as well.
Thanks for the explanation on dredging. I was watching several of these & wondered why. I saw one in Manchester On UA-cam (I’m in central US Oklahoma) & that gentleman did say they were dredging that locke
Remember i was helping clear a canal in Germany we accidently found a few un exploded bombs from Bomber planes that did not detonate since finding unexploded bombs was not new everyone just went and left and put flag rods around the area to makesure noone would accidently walk near it
Sorry about that. We didn't put trembler switches or clockwork timers on ours, should be less of a challenge than the Type 17 or 50, but still hazardous work.
canals in london now are ruined by the thousands of houseboats permanently moored up all along them, i used to fish all the stretch from London Zoo to Stratford, would hardly see a boat and be peaceful and quiet, now its one long boat park of polluters.
If you're not dredging it, how do you get rid of the muck and silt that flows in and accumulates and will eventually make the canal not passable?
If you ever find a '78 Kaw Z650 in the Regents Canal, it was mine.
🤣🤣🤣 as a kid back in the late 70s we all used to swim in there in the summer,and a bonus in the lido in Victoria park , better days then
Makes you wonder what interesting things are lost out of sight where they've sunk in the mud
WWII bomb being chucked to the side at end, had me cracking up!!
Looks like gas cylinder, not milk churn or unexploded ordnance.
It can literally take eternity to clean that mess up... Such a muddy snapshot of contemporary history
50-100 prisoners should volunteer and that canal would get cleaned up properly
I agree. They might develop more respect for their city
@@TheBigCrispman slavery is illegal last I checked
People who are sentenced to community service could very well be tasked with cleaning up this...👍👍
Fat chance

Excavator and trucks would be the way to go

Probably to wait until the canal can't be use/risks flooding then do it
5:55 and bet it still works perfectly

I always wanted to visit and mudlark on the Thames.
Do you get to keep what you find? Looks like fun

Hi there do they ever get some of the mud sludge etc out of there ??

That canal needs dredging though too…… all that muddy silt just backs up and backs up and fills the canal…..
Wow, time-capsule indeed
Some of those bottles could be worth a bit
And what could be on some of those discs 😮
The history on that canal could be awesome right. It’s all about the little things..
Thousands of volunteers would come if they called to come clean it
We should be sorting all the natural rivers they are the ones that are ruined
7:17 so sad
You won’t pull out micro plastics with a litter picker!!
Great
Would it no make more sense to save the fish and the ducks transport them then bring in digggers and clean the thing
next time search near the edge were people walk and with an metal detector 😊👍
Wot no old lambrettas 😊

My Arabic teacher used to say religious texts that are too damaged would normally be thrown into a river or the sea.
10 - 1 they find a gun. And plenty of knifes or even a WW2 unexploded bomb.
Any dead bodies?

All of a sudden it's a German bomb. 😂
....the delinquents that throw bottles in there should have to pay back the cost of 12 years education
Canals are NOT man made rivers. *They are man made waterways.*
No one cares
Why always look at it in the negative? You might not have found the lottery winner but helping just a bit to clear that crap out is far more worthy
