Shropshire Union Canal Society - Enhancement team is expanding

At a recent canal enhancement work party at Ellesmere, six candidates passed the hedge cutting training and can now play a full part in the project.

David Carter has led the team for a few years now and said: “We’re doing relatively basic jobs such as hedge cutting, towpath tidying and canal side furniture painting etc, but it seems to make a big difference, judging by the comments we get from visitors and passersby. We now have a trained team but there’s always room for more.
