The contractor has encountered unforeseen issues that require additional attention, resulting in an extension of the planned refurbishment work until 3rd March.

Description

Third party contractors will be erecting scaffolding and encapsulated pipe work will be carried out for abrasive blasting and inspection, followed by the application of a 4-coat epoxy paint system.

Please be aware that there may be a brief delay for boaters and towpath users until the scaffolding is fully installed. We kindly ask that all boaters with canopies remove them prior to navigating under the scaffolding.

For safety and coordination, please follow the instructions of contractors on-site.
