Dangerous Building in Sowerby Bridge

A dangerous building has led to the closure of the Rochdale Canal and towpath in Sowerby Bridge.

British Waterways says that the canalside building has the potential to collapse across the canal.

The canal above Tuel Lock is currently closed to enable investigation of embankment leaks so BW has extended the section of canal currently closed to include the area affected by the dangerous building.

Any enquiries regarding this stoppage should be made to BW on 01782 785703.
