Description

An urgent navigation closure is required to repair the canal bed and to prevent leakage through a culvert, which is causing flooding to adjacent land. 

The closure is timed to coincide with the other stoppages on the Macclesfield Canal in order to minimise disruption.  

The towpath will be closed for the duration of the stoppage and a signed diversion will be in place.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.
