Works are being undertaken on behalf of the Park Gate Shopping Park to remove vegetation from the drain to provide access so that debris can be removed to avoid flooding in heavy rainfall conditions.
Please be aware that operatives will be using the towpath between Sir Frank Price Lock and Eastwood Footbridge to transport equipment and materials to and from the drain. Vegetation cutting works will be underway at the west end of the drain. Signage will be in place and site staff will stop and let towpath users pass when moving along the towpath.
