We are having to place a temporary towpath closure on the section of towpath from Bridge 14, Fallingroyd Tunnel to Lock 8, Mayroyd Lock for 2 days whilst machinery is needed to undertake the works on and over this section as it is dangerous for the public to enter whilst the works are being carried out.
