Any update on Liverpool ?

Hi, been off grid for several days and was wondering if anyone had seen an update on the Liverpool link. Probably expecting too much for C&RT to provide an update if indeed there is any appreciable progress. Have looked in the obvious places without success.

Hi there cycled last week Stanley dock to Melling, Stanley dock locks draining quite well almost empty  last week, this week a pump has been installed at Melling to pump water up a steep bank to the canal the liverpool side of breach.

 

This week the canal slightly fuller but a lot of mud/silt/scrap in canal and not enough water to navigate safely, one boat trapped at Bootle, next to Tesco and CRT depot, no boats anywhere along the canal, going to be a long job to fill the canal, and some of the banks opposite towpath look a bit dodgy/collapsed but land above higher , so little chance of a further breach hopefuly

The breach site is fenced off and a nice security chap said because there was so much scrap and crap in the semi empty canal , they had fenced it off both ends to protect walkers from falling in.Also heavy plant woll require access to the canal bed and its not good for onlookers to be hit by a jcb.
