Winter Works Plans, 2011-12

Have your say on our plans as they develop during spring and early summer.

General approach to planning winter works

Each winter, we take the opportunity of reduced cruising activity to concentrate effort on essential repairs and maintenance to the canals. In many cases, to do the work we have to close the navigation for boats and sometimes towpath walkers.

Public consultation on works planning 2011/12

Last year, for the first time, we encouraged more active involvement of waterway users in planning the timetable of works by publishing our plans on waterscape and inviting feedback on them. Due to the success of this scheme we once again invited you to review the provisional plans prepared by our local works planners, and to help us spot opportunities for better coordination to minimise disruption.

We have now finished phase two of the consultation. Our works planners will make any further appropriate changes before the plan is 'locked down' for implementation over the winter. We expect to publish the final version during September.

Explore proposed works that will require navigation closure or restrictions on particular waterways.

From the pages showing the detail of each proposed stoppage (reached via explore proposed works), click the ‘show map' button. Please be patient while waiting for the maps to display and note that they display at the detailed level only, not regionally. They show the precise kilometre length(s) affected by the stoppage. These are the 'live' maps created directly from the data currently stored in the site's database.

Regional maps in PDF format
These are created by our mapping team and display a little more clearly with more regional context. They do not update automatically like the live maps do when any corrections are applied to the data. Click on the relevant map below to download the pdf.
