Please be advised that third-party contractors will be carrying out vegetation removal and Japanese knotweed treatment works on the offside bank.

There may be a short delay for boaters while the boat is moved to allow access. Please follow any instructions given by contractors on site.

Staff will be present on the towpath throughout the works. We do not anticipate any delays to the towpath users, and access will be maintained at all times.
