Great Haywood Trent and Mersey

[Cheshire cat]

Mooring is suspended between Staffs & Worcester junction and Fancy bridge below Gt Haywood lock for six weeks to facilitate a towpath upgrade!

Is that why there were homemade-looking signs saying "No mooring" at various random places above and below the lock a few days ago, with no reason or timescale stated on them?

[Rob-M]

There was a stoppage notice issued for this. It doesn't look like they have done much work there yet though.

Two blokes leaning on their shovels this morning?

Me thinks it’s going to take a while!

Sign from 4th May

Ah, that's different from the signs that were there a few days ago, they were just plain red with the words "No Mooring" in white letters.

Both the red signs and the ones Peter has posted are present. At the moment they appear to be digging trenches across the towpath. Perhaps they are putting drainage pipe in.
