Pinch Point Progress

An exclusive look at the work being carried out in preparation for the Lichfield Canal by Persimmon and contractors Amey at the new St. John's Grange housing development. LHCRT's Peter Buck and Persimmon's Dan Hassall take us on a special tour of the site and explain 'The pinch point' at Lock 23.
This is the section of the canal from the London Road bridge by Gallows wharf up to the railway crossing.

4th November 2020.

The Lichfield Canal Trust acknowledges the collaborative working by Persimmon Homes, Staffs County Council, Amey Infrastructure and others on this challenging project, with the resulting good construction progress now being made by the contractors on this section of the bypass, which includes significant and key heritage elements of the Lichfield Canal. This is the culmination of many years of negotiations between all the parties involved.
Whilst we are pleased that the work has commenced and is progressing well, there
are many details still to work through with all parties over the coming weeks and the Trust look forward to project completion next year when more key sections of the Lichfield Canal will be restored and in place along the new Lichfield bypass
