Rufford Branch closed

Published: Wednesday, 21 February 2018

A BROKEN lock paddle has closed the Rufford Branch of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.

The closure means there is no access to or from the Leeds & Liverpool Canal to the Rufford Branch, Keith Gudgin tells us.

Only one working?

It is not understood why a single paddle breakage caused a closure, unless of course, there was only one working paddle of the pair on the particular gates.

There is no intimation when the repair will be undertaken.

LATEST:

Wednesday—the broken ground paddle has been repaired.
