Description
Due to a landslip at Tunstall Water Bridge, offside bank material has been washed into canal, restricting the navigation. The water level is reduced to around 70cm and would allow only very shallow drafted boats to pass. Please keep to the towpath side and approach with care. Our teams are working closely with engineers and contractors to resolve this situation as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
From Wednesday 13 May our canals and rivers are open for navigation. Our towpaths are also open for exercise or journeys to undertake essential work, but please try to avoid any stretches with boats moored against the towpath. Strictly observe social distancing at all times, following the latest advice from the government. Before you go by boat, bike or boot, remember to check your route.
