Restoration at Renishaw
Restoration is actually starting on another mile of canal
at Renishaw. Towpath will be formally closed from Monday 14
April , probably till September 2008, whilst contractors are
on site. I attach the formal notice of closure and a map of
the site. Fortunately, closure should cause very few problem
as the Trans Pennine Trail runs very close by.

TOWPATH CLOSURE AT STAVELEY
The towpath from the end of the restored section of canal
at Mil Green, Staveley, to the vicinity of Bellhouse Lane
,Staveley will be closed from 23 April 2007. The nearby Trans
Pennine Trail will also be closed in the same area, as will
part of the Arkwright Trail near the junction with the TPT
and towpath at Lowgates.
It is possible for pedestrians and cyclists to by-pass the
diversion using local streets and roads.
The closure will be for up to 99 weeks. It is because of
the construction of the Stavely link road to the new junction
29a of the M1. Canal restoration will eventually benefit from
the construction work, as the present low level bridge across
Hall Lane will be rebuilt to allow boats to pass under.
