Winding hole for Dudley No 2 Canal

A WINDING hole is to be constructed on the Dudley No 2 Canal.

This will enable boats to turn where No 2 joins the Worcester & Birmingham with an agreement reached between M & G Real Estate, Sainsbury’s, the Canal & River Trust and the Lapal Canal Trust, Keith Gudgin reports.

This will enable not only boats to turn but a trip boat to moor and operate from the extended water space by the winding hole.

Donated leases

M & G Real Estate and Sainsbury’s have donated their leases for the development with the new water feature completing the development of Whitehouse Wharf and forming part of the Selly Oak Shopping Centre owned by M & G Real Estate, and the development provided as a public amenity.

Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands has agreed to mark the start of work with breaking ground on Wednesday the 2nd of March at 11.30.
