Our team are assessing all available options and looking to implement the most effective interim solution.
We hope to install as soon as we are able to.
Thank you for your patience and understanding at this time.
Quotations are currently being sourced following the recent inspections in order for the next steps to be agreed in relation to the remedial works, whilst we understand this may cause inconvenience, alternative routes remain in place until it is safe to reopen the towpath.
Our engineers have carried out an initial inspection to assess the site and the towpath condition. We are currently awaiting the results of this inspection. We will update this notice once the inspection results have been reviewed.
