Third‑party contractors will be loading scaffolding onto a workboat to facilitate upcoming works on the Tame Valley Canal.

The scaffolding will be transported to site and unloaded by boat. During these operations, signage will be installed both upstream and downstream of the works area.

Banksmen will also be in place to notify and assist approaching boaters and towpath users, ensuring the activity is carried out safely.
