Bridgewater Canal Breach Updated Statement – 3rd February 2025
Winding Hole at Little Bollington
The winding hole at Little Bollington is now available for use by boats. We request that turning of boats is carried out in a slow and safe manner, to prevent contact with the buoys that have been installed to protect the dam.
Refilling of the canal, west of the breach
Controlled syphoning of water to refill the canal in this section commenced last week and may take up to 14 days to reach a navigable level. We will provide further updates and confirm once this has been achieved.
If any issues arise, please call the Bridgewater Canal out of hours emergency number on 0151 236 9781.
Kind regards
Peter Parkinson – Director – Bridgewater Canal
