Description

Original 15 October 2026, noon

Third-party contractors working on behalf of a developer will be installing a fabric dam on the offside of the canal to facilitate the construction of an outfall.

The dam will restrict the width of the navigation. Boaters should pass with care, follow all signage on site and keep clear of the dam.

Mooring will be restricted around the works due to the width of the dam and its location on a bend, to maintain sufficient space for safe navigation.

Please approach the area slowly and with caution.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience and co-operation.
