Original 12 December 2025, 1:35pm

Third-party contractors working on behalf of National Grid are carrying out vegetation clearance works to maintain overhead power lines along the southern towpath near Friar Park Farm Bridge. The southern towpath will remain open; however, signage and banksmen will be present as needed to safely manage towpath traffic.

The northern towpath and the canal will not be affected by these works.

Please follow all signage and any directions provided by banksmen on site.
