For those of you who wander along the towpath from time to time you will have spotted some major works taking place at one of the locks. This has provided a unique opportunity to see what goes on under the surface of the canal.
The flight of locks at Adderley continues the ascent and descent from the Audlem flight taking traffic from the Cheshire Plain up to Market Drayton and beyond. Built by Thomas Telford the historical significance of the canal at Adderley is marked by the listing of its bridges over the canal.
Even if you’re not one of the regulars along the towpath it’s worth getting your wellies out of the cupboard and taking a stroll just to see before the repairs are complete and the canal is allowed to regain its working level.

It’s just six weeks to the final of the Adderley Village Photo Competition.
Last year the Photography competition attracted over 25 amazing entries and we were able to make a village calendar for 2016. This year we are hoping to increase the number of entries. So it’s time to get out your mobile phones, your bridge cameras and that DSLR you had for your birthday and get snapping.
I wish to update you about essential carriageway resurfacing work that is currently taking place on the A529 north of Adderley, curtailing at the Shropshire County boundary.
Works are currently approximately 1 week behind programme and it is predicted the works will over-run into mid-September during School Term Time.
On Tuesday 5th September 2016, the new school year begins and in order to accommodate the needs of parents making a school run the road closure times will be reduced to the hours 9am to 2:45pm from this date. (Currently, road closure hours are restricted to the hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday during the school holiday period).
The following philosophy will remain while undertaking the works:
· School runs aren’t affected.
· Commuters travelling before 9am and after 5pm Monday to Friday will not be adversely affected.
· The road will be open at the weekend, evenings and early morning.
We appreciate that this work will continue to cause some disruption to local residents and businesses and hope you will bear with us while this important work is carried out.
A signed diversion route will be in place while the road is closed. Information about the work, including diversion routes, can be found on a dedicated webpage atwww.shropshire.gov.uk/roadworks. Updates will be added to this page throughout the work to keep people informed of progress.
