Due to circumstances beyond our control, works which were due to be carried out by contractors on behalf of National Grid have had to be rescheduled until 19th September.

Works will be carried out to the gas pipe adjacent to Anchor Bridge, Brownhills from pontoons and as a result the width of the navigation will be restricted.  There will be men on site to instruct boats through the works and the pontoons will be moved as and when necessary to allow boats to pass through.

British Waterways apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
