Fool's Nook closed again

Published: Friday, 29 January 2010

ONCE again the swing bridge at Fool's Nook on the Macclesfield Canal will be out of action.

The Royal Oak Swing Bridge, Fools Nook, at Oakgrove will be closed to boaters for the whole of next Monday, 1st February, this time to allow maintenance to take place on a nearby distribution system.

This is not a British Waterways stoppage but caused by United Utilities who are working on its own system that necessitates switching off all power.

The instruction is for boaters to wait until power is restored!
