Description

Original 28 July 2026, 4:48pm

Please can boaters be aware that six shopping trollies have been pushed into the canal, from the supermarket above the towpath.

It is possible for narrowboats to pass with care but wide beams will not be able to get by safely.

Our Operations team will be on site in coming days, to remove the trollies.

This notice will be updated as soon as the trollies have been removed.
