Description

This restriction is to enable Contractor Spartan Rescue to inspect the railway bridge using pontoon and fixed scaffold.

Please follow any signage and guidance provided by the contractors on site.

Pontoon will be moved out of the way for any approaching boaters to enable them to navigate under the structure safely.

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.
