Third-party contractors will be returning to complete vegetation clearance works at the rear of the towpath west of Birmingham Small Arms Turnover Bridge, which commenced last month.

To facilitate the works, a mobile elevated work platform will be operated from third-party land behind the towpath.

The towpath will remain open; however, barriers, signage, and banksmen will be in place to manage pedestrians and ensure safety during the works.
