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.
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.
Thanks for the explanation on dredging. I was watching several of these & wondered why. I saw one in Manchester On RUclips (I’m in central US Oklahoma) & that gentleman did say they were dredging that locke
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.

50-100 prisoners should volunteer and that canal would get cleaned up properly
I agree. They might develop more respect for their city
@@LDNpredatorfishing slavery is illegal last I checked
People who are sentenced to community service could very well be tasked with cleaning up this...👍👍
Fat chance
For what

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?
🤣🤣🤣 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

Probably to wait until the canal can't be use/risks flooding then do it
Makes you wonder what interesting things are lost out of sight where they've sunk in the mud
Excavator and trucks would be the way to go

I always wanted to visit and mudlark on the Thames.
Would it no make more sense to save the fish and the ducks transport them then bring in digggers and clean the thing
You won’t pull out micro plastics with a litter picker!!
It can literally take eternity to clean that mess up... Such a muddy snapshot of contemporary history

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

WWII bomb being chucked to the side at end, had me cracking up!!
Looks like gas cylinder, not milk churn or unexploded ordnance.
That canal needs dredging though too…… all that muddy silt just backs up and backs up and fills the canal…..
If you ever find a '78 Kaw Z650 in the Regents Canal, it was mine.
The history on that canal could be awesome right. It’s all about the little things..
next time search near the edge were people walk and with an metal detector 😊👍
Some of those bottles could be worth a bit
And what could be on some of those discs 😮

Looks absolutely disgusting and not worth saving. Backfill the whole thing.

My Arabic teacher used to say religious texts that are too damaged would normally be thrown into a river or the sea.
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 ??
Canals are NOT man made rivers. *They are man made waterways.*
No one cares
