Polite request ...

Walkers and ramblers using the steps to, or from the canal towpath at bridge 11, are respectfully asked to close the gate at the top of the steps.

The return spring has had to be replaced a few times, due to it either being damaged, or taken and the gate will not automatically close by itself.

An open gate can cause harm to cattle, people or vehicles, so please, ensure it is closed after you...
