Towpath Taskforce report

Herewith report and attached photographs for Audlem Canal & River Trust Towpath Taskforce event, which took place on the evening of Wednesday the 1st of June.

Making best use of good weather, it was back to completing lock painting, canal-side infrastructure and refurbishing signs. To note, the volunteers in the daytime completed the dirty and undesirable task of tidying all the litter and rubbish left on the ground in the services bin compound after the visitor-busy weekend.
