Third-party contractors will be required to hand excavate several small trial holes within the towpath surface and surrounding areas to locate underground services. The trial holes will be no larger than 1 m x 1 m.
Access along the towpath will be maintained wherever possible; however, there may be short delays for towpath users while excavation works are being undertaken and until the area has been made safe for customers to pass.
