Work on the Basin at Baswich has progressed so quickly over the past 12 months, that the next Phase (reconstruction of the Bridge at the Junction) has been reached well ahead of schedule. This Bridge will enable the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal to be opened up into the Basin to provide moorings for around a dozen boats.

This next Phase requires planning permission and a Planning Application submitted and considered.

As this process will take a few months before it is hopefully approved by the Borough Council, our efforts will focus on site maintenance around the Basin at the monthly work parties. Once approval is granted, work will commence on the Basin area around the proposed bridge and on the bridge itself.
