Helping To Make A Good Image

A colourful and clean view of the canal from Townbridge must be an image of Middlewich that we would like to portray. Unfortunately up until last week canal users and pedestrians could also see these images from Townbridge too:

Nothing like an untidy mess giving Middlewich such a poor image to get the Clean Team going!

There was a problem though; how to get to the patch of land which is between the canal and the River Croco?

Middlewich Narrowboats to the rescue!

After checking health and safety procedures the Middlewich Clean Team volunteers gratefully accepted the offer of a lift to the scene from Middlewich Narrowboats.

They easily disembarked and commenced work straight away.

Twenty minutes later and it was a good job done with the view for canal users and pedestrians alike very much improved. Importantly the image of Middlewich as a clean and tidy place to be was improved too.
