'A community towpath tidy up has been organised ahead of the installation of new heritage sculptures within the Wigan Pier Quarter.

Local businesses nearby and members of the public are invited to take part in clean up of the section of the Leeds-Liverpool canal towpath that stretches from the Wigan Pier Tippler through to the dry dock, on Wednesday 4th February.

The statues are part of a wider redevelopment programme for the Wigan Pier Quarter that has included the refurbishment of Trencherfield Mill dry dock and heritage machinery and improvements to Pottery Road bridge and pavements.

The majority of funding ... from the Heritage Lottery, The Regeneration Fund and the Regional Development Fund.'

Explorations Saying that, how many times can that be said? They set the standard the Victorians, all you need to do is keep on top in the way of preservation and basic maintenence.

I agree Explorations.
It seems funding has been secured for some unnecessary changes, but the needed clean-up must be carried out by a team of volunteers.
