Subject: [canals-list] Ca n al to be fenced off
A 3 ft 6 in high "safety fence" is to be erected alongside Canal Street
in Manchester, next to the stone wall between the street and the canal.
The fence will have stainless steel posts alongside the wall, curving to
support a stainless steel rail above the wall, with the space between
wall and rail filled by reinforced glass panels.
If the plan is approved, the fence will change the appearance of the
historic canalside location. Unusually for a canal, the street itself
forms part of the towpath.
I have written more about this here:

I have included links to the plans, so that you can see exactly what is
proposed, and to the place on the council's web site where comments on
the application can be made.
The page includes a photo of a boat being horsedrawn along this stretch
of canal, which would no longer be possible with the proposed fence in
place.

if anyone falls in, the canal the fence would impede rescuers.This is an ill
conceived barmpot idea and should be knocked on the head. Heritage would be
destroyed. How about getting the area canal shedualed as an ancient monument
that would slow the planners down.CKP
