Bird mesh installation and brickwork repairs on central pier have been completed and the pontoon has been removed from canal.
Contractors will need to come back to complete further brickwork repairs and to install the bird mesh to both abutments, but these works will be carried out without closing the towpath or restricting the navigation. Banksmen and signage will be utilised to manage towpath users.
