Earlier this year, residents in Kearsley protested over off-road bikers using towpaths as a speedway. |
He did ask if I thought people should not be allowed to walk on canal towpaths in case they fell in and drowned. |
The bridge will be of single span over the canal and towpaths and will be provided with ramp access from the north and both stair and ramp access from the south. |
Projects have included improving canal side towpaths, boat maintenance and helping crew trips. |
After all, the track follows in the hoofprints of horses, which for hundreds of years pulled barges upstream along these same, now asphalted, riverside towpaths. |
I love walking along canal towpaths and the route taken by the Leeds and Liverpool through Blackburn is a history lesson. |
