Snarestone Restoration Works

The Ashby Canal restoration has made a start at the Snarestone terminus. Leicestershire County Council/British Waterways/May Gurney have constructed a stopgate chamber, stop planks, winding hole and a 100m off line nature reserve at the current terminus of the Ashby Canal.

Further works have begun. These include a short extension to the current canal, removal of the spoil heap, site clearance and building a permanent slipway.
