Contractors on behalf of the Trust will be carrying out a small excavation next to the towpath. A new inspection chamber and flow meter are being installed to improve water management.

Towpath access will remain open, but users may experience brief delays while contractors ensure the area is safe to pass.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during these works.
