Pulling together over the breach

AQUEDUCT Marina and Claymore Navigation are among many businesses directly affected by the serious breach in the Trent & Mersey Canal at Dutton which has closed the canal for an undisclosed period.

When the breach occurred hire boats from Claymore Navigation were stuck, unable to get back to base on the other side of the breach, so Aqueduct Marina has stepped in with a solution, with Marina Director, Robert Parton explaining:

"We are very pleased to be able to help Claymore Navigation in such difficult circumstances and this way people won't lose their holidays."

Do not lose holidays

Claymore Navigation boats are temporarily starting and finishing their hire periods at the marina so that people who have booked Autumn breaks afloat do not lose their holidays. At the end of the month, when Claymore Navigation cease hiring for the winter season, the boats will be returned to Preston Brook via the Macclesfield Canal and Manchester city centre—a journey that can take at least eight days.
