Venetian Marina, Nantwich, Middlewich Branch, Shropshire Union Canal

Please be advised third party contractors will be onsite from Bridge 5, Cholmondeston Bridge to Brickyard Bridge No 6 on the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal to carry out vegetation removal and brickwork repairs to the railway bridge alongside Venetian Marina, via a temporary pontoon and scaffold.

Whilst we anticipate towpath and canal customers will experience some delays, we politely request all customers to listen to any advice that may be given by the contractors onsite.

Please remember our advice - only move your boat if it’s essential (not for leisure purposes) and minimise your use of the towpath.

If you are not currently occupying your boat the government guidance is that you must not visit it (this means no short trips or breaks on your boat at this time).

Please follow the government advice – stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives.
