The towpath closure is for the safety of the public while contractors working on behalf of Cadent Gas drill a borehole next to the towpath to gather information to aid the design of a new gas crossing below the canal.

Boaters will not be affected. Towpath users should follow the towpath diversion route to the south/east of the canal. The route will be marked with signs.
