The customer service facilities at Marple on the Macclesfield Canal remain closed due to blocked drains.
Further investigations have confirmed that the land where the affected drains are located is owned by a third-party landowner.
Our Estates Team is working with the landowner to agree the required repairs and establish a timeline for the works to be carried out by them. Once this has been confirmed, we will be able to provide further details of the repair plan and expected timescales.
The next update will be provided on or before Tuesday 25 August.
