On Thursday June 5, we will celebrate the reopening of Walsall Canal to boats after a serious pollution incident in August of last year. Since then, the canal has been dredged to remove cyanide-contaminated silt, reducing risks to wildlife and aiding ecological recovery.

The first barge has made its way down the newly reopened canal in #Walsall! 🌊 This marks more than just the end of a long recovery — it’s the beginning of a refreshed, thriving waterway for local boaters and wildlife alike. Canal & River Trust West Midlands

We've worked with Sandwell Council to reopen Wrights Bridge on the Dudley No2 Canal. It had been closed for years due to structural concerns but thanks to the councils support it's now open for everyone to use.

It is getting hot this week so please take care when out on our canal towpaths. Don't be tempted to cool off by swimming in our canals and reservoirs. Instead head to a local pool, grab an ice cream or enjoy cold drink in the shade. tinyurl.com/8jujhnk7

Although it may seem like a great way to cool down, please don't enter our waterways - there are hidden dangers. If you do find yourself in trouble in the water, remember #FloatToLive - Tilt your head back, ears submerged - Try to relax & control your breathing - Call for help
