 The Transforming Cities - funded repairs to the canal towpath in Nottingham carried out by the Canal & River Trust have finished ahead of schedule. Thank you for your patience during these works.
These repairs have fixed a sinking area of the canal wall which led to flooding, meaning that hopefully cycling and walking along this stretch will be safer in the future.
