Work is now taking place to clear the silt in this section; the priority areas should be cleared by the end of Friday 27th March, and navigation will be possible after this date.

Remember, as part of efforts to tackle the Coronavirus crisis, we are asking all boaters to stop non-essential travel, so please limit movements to access vital facilities – you can see more at https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/safety-on-our-waterways/coronavirus/coronavirus-and-boating-faqs

A silt survey will be undertaken this week to enable us to programme works to get the silt removed. Timescales for the re-opening of the navigation to be advised as soon as possible.
