RESIDENTS living in narrowboats on the canal are angry and concerned for their health as hundreds of walkers, cyclists, and joggers are flooding to the towpath every day during lockdown. Those who live on their narrowboats off the Langford Lane towpath in Kidlington said that the ‘towpath has become a nightmare’ with runner’s coughing and spitting onto the area surrounding the residential boats. Married couple Tim and Georgina Webster said they ‘do not feel safe’ living on their narrowboat as no one is social distancing or wearing a mask as they pass through the towpath. Mrs Webster, who suffers from anxiety, said: “I can’t even sit on top of my boat without seeing unmasked coughing and spluttering people, I feel trapped and I shouldn t have to feel this way.”
