TWO NAVIGATIONS ARE to be reopened but one with restrictions.
This one is the Rochdale Canal, Keith Gudgin reports.
The navigation notice however is not clear stating the canal will be reopened from Lock 1 to Lock 33. but also from Lock 9 to Lock 19!
Whichever it is, it is told that in will be reopened at 9am on Fridays until 3pm on Mondays.
Caldon Canal
The trust tells that the Caldon Canal will reopen today, Thursday 6th November from Hazlehurst Top Lock 10 to Froghall Basin.
This was closed on the 11th of August as the trust allowed Severn Trent to take water from the reservoir so that the water company could boast of not having an hosepipe ban, though this meant closing the Caldon.
