Description

Original 6 November 2025, 4:36pm

We're going to be running new power cables in the canal and replacing the road barriers to the Swing Bridge.

For the majority of this time users may experience a slight delay crossing over / under the swingbridge, the towpath will remain open. However, we'll have divers in the water from Monday 12th January for 5 days, so there will be limited passage for boaters during that week. Between 08:00 and 16:00 passage will need to be restricted to two slots at 10:00 and 14:00 for 30 mins each day that week
