My Boat Washed Away in the Whitchurch Canal Breach - Narrowboat Home

We talk to Flek, whose life was turned upside down during the Whitchurch canal breach that occurred on the 22 December 2025. Two narrowboat homes ended up at the bottom of a huge crater created by the breach and one was left teetering on the edge. Flek and his partner Anita have lived on the canals for two years and it was a dream come true until the events of that morning. Thank you Flek for talking to us.

We have set up a go fund me page for the boaters affected. https://gofund.me/2bab2291c
