Canal towpath reopens to public

A stretch of the Worcester Canal path, which closed for redevelopment, has been reopened.

The path between the Commandery in Sidbury and the Diglis Basin is open to walkers and cyclists who can use it to reach the River Severn.

The path closed in 2005 and was used as a temporary mooring for boats while Diglis Basin was redeveloped.

The work was carried out by British Waterways. A spokesman thanked walkers and cyclists for their patience.
