Does anyone know when the canal at Rishton will be open again. It says on the penninewaterways web site that the canal will be open again on 21st November but it wasn't. Then I rang them up and the girl told me it was opening last Saturday, but it didn't open. I cycled to the site on Sunday afternoon and it seemed there was still a lot of work to do. I rang again on Monday morning and they told me it was going to open on Monday lunchtime but it wasn't open. I cycled home (Great Harwood to Church) on Monday tea time and went to the site at Rishton. I climbed over a gate and found a seurity guy who new nothing but he thought it could be at least two more weeks but he wasn't sure. This stretch of the canal is used by hundreds of people every week and we need to know when it will open.
