Historic canal set to be cleared of debris by volunteers in Warrington
AN historic canal is set to be cleared of debris by volunteers in Warrington. The Sankey Canal, England's first industrial canal built in 1757, is due for a clean-up on Saturday, August 16. The Sankey Canal Restoration Society (SCRS) is organising the work party, which will take place at Sankey Bridges from 10am to 2pm. Volunteers are asked to meet at the car park by the canal, off Liverpool Road. The team will aim to clear the canal of debris and remove poor-quality self-seeded saplings to improve water flow. A litter pick will also be available for those interested. The day will focus on cutting back vegetation around the old swing bridge base and clearing coping stones. Volunteers are asked to bring food and drink, a waterproof bag and clothing, old clothes, and sturdy footwear, preferably steel toe-capped boots. The SCRS will provide gloves, safety gear, tools, and equipment. The nearest facilities for the event are at Lidl supermarket, Old Liverpool Road. All volunteers will be covered by the SCRS insurance, and team leaders are emergency first aid trained. The minimum age to be part of the work party is 18, but there are opportunities for younger children to get involved. The SCRS said: "We really appreciate your help in whatever shape or form and for however long you can spare on site." If you wish to attend, contact volunteer co-ordinator Colin Greenall on 07506 936730 or
