Liam, how do you get these Bridgewater notifications? I've checked on their website and there's no information on the process (in fact the above stoppage is not even listed in their "stoppages" page!).

[Liam]

My boat holds a Bridgewater Canal license and so is automatically added to the canal companies email list as I noted down my email address on the license renewal forms.

 

There'd be no harm in emailing bridgewatercanal@peel.co.uk to ask them to add you to their list.

Ah right, I'll try that and thanks for keeping us posted.

Update

 

The canal will be reopened on this Friday morning at 7.00am.
