Update 21 August 2026, 3:41pm

Unfortunately, the planned works have been delayed and were unable to commence this week as scheduled.

As a result, this advice notice will remain in place and has been extended until 28 August 2026 while revised arrangements are made to undertake the works.

Original 13 August 2026, 3:05pm

Third‑party contractors will be undertaking ground investigation works at the rear of the towpath adjacent to Bridge 14 (Ansty Road).

The towpath will remain open throughout the works; however, barriers, signage and banksmen will be present to manage pedestrian traffic and ensure public safety.

Navigation will not be affected and the canal will remain open as normal.

Instructions: Please follow all on‑site signage and any instructions provided by the contractors.
