AFTER an intensive period of dredging, another mile of the northern reaches of the Lancaster Canal is to be opened by South Lakeland District Council chairman Roger Bingham on Tuesday, April 30.
It will be the first time since the canal was closed to water traffic in the 1960s that this extra length of water near Crooklands will be navigable.
The Northern Reaches Restoration Group hopes to re-open the entire 14 miles of the canal from Tewitfield to Kendal.
