Please be advised that third-party contractors will be working alongside the canal to replace Cathodic test posts. The work will involve some hand digging to remove posts and install replacements.
The towpath will remain open and pedestrians will be guided around the work area and the navigation will remain unaffected. Please observe all signs and any instructions from the contractor.
