Third-party contractors will be installing scaffolding within the navigation to refurbish and repaint a gas pipe running alongside the canal. This will result in a temporary reduction in navigation width at the work site.

Signage and buoys will be placed both upstream and downstream to alert boaters and towpath users. Please proceed with caution and follow all signage and any instructions provided by the contractors.
