An assessment has been carried out to determine the cost of placing these services onto mains drains which has not proven to be viable. The showers have also recently suffered vandalism and require replacing for health and safety reasons. As such a review of the effectiveness of these facilities along with an assessment of the proximity to alternative services has been carried out. Alternative facilities on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal are located at the following locations:- : Bridge 32A (Toilets, Water Point, Elsan) â ½ hour cruising Sparks Bridge 8A, Rufford Branch (Toilets, Water Point, Elsan, Pump Out, Showers) â 2 hours cruising Litherland: Bridge 2J (Toilets, Water Point, Pump Out) â 6 hours cruising Henhurst Lock 86, Wigan (Toilets, Elsan, Water Point) â 4 hours cruising In view of this, it has been decided that it is not cost effective to keep these facilities open at this location and therefore they will be closed as of 1st September 2007. However this will be on a trial basis at this stage to assess the impact that this will have on our customers. Please note that the water point will remain open. A review will take place early next year following consultation with users at the forthcoming user group meetings. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Contact: 01942 405700
