Three of the Directors from Cofton Lake Conservation Ltd met British Waterways Engineers at the lake on 18th August to discuss the draining of the lake. A letter is being sent to the Chief Executive of British Waterways to complain about the workmanship of the Engineers who attended the repair work to the valve which seems to once again be causing problems. An update will be posted when a reply is received.
Some of you may have noticed that the lake has started to be drained down – yet again today!!! Just as it was starting to refill – We are meeting British Waterways tomorrow for yet further discussions – Our web site will be posted with the outcome.
GOOD NEWS: British Waterways have today completed the work on the valves. They seem to be working fine and are now closed and the lake will now start filling up.
Lets all pray for rain!!

We understand that the sluice gates are now closed so the lake should now start to refill.
