Weston Lock The locks at the eastern end of the Trent & Mersey Canal are all broad, allowing widebeam vessels to travel up to Burton on Trent. Most of them are deep - in this case with a fall of 10ft 11in - making them slow to fill and empty with stiff paddles and heavy gates; they therefore tend to be unpopular with boaters. Here the lock is being emptied causing a lot of turbulence by the lock landing.

A new primary school Some examples of reasonable planning. A new estate to the west of Castle Donington has an education facility built! The relief road surrounding the area has good, open drainage with flow reduction and balancing ponds.

New road and houses The road linking the A453 and A50 to serve both the new housing to the west of Castle Donington and the distribution and industrial units around and on the former site of the power station has a quite decent shared path along its length.
