We apologise for the addition of these works to our winter programme. They are required to enable the safe demolition of a building adjacent to the canal by a third party. The former Britannia Works building, located on the offside of the canal, is in a dilapidated condition and needs to be taken down safely. A stoppage will be in place from 16 February to 8 March to allow the works to be carried out safely. Please note that the local customer facilities above Atherstone Top Lock will be outside of the stoppage and will remain available throughout this period. Thank you for your understanding and patience while these essential works are completed.
