On 19th February a small group of volunteers braved the cold and wet conditions at Enfield Changeline Bridge No 114A on the Leeds Liverpool Canal. In particular we were tackling shrubs and litter near the Enfield Wharf, Blackburn Road entrance. This historic location is used by walkers and cyclists visiting the area and by local people for leisure activities and to commute to work, schools and shops that can be easily accessed from Whalley Road bridge a short distance along the canal. The volunteer day is part of PROSPECTS partnership with the Canal and River Trust and is supported by funding from the Lottery Community Fund for Empowering Community Change in Hyndburn. The funding is to improve the places and spaces that matter to communities. More volunteers are needed to join us when we return to Enfield Wharf or tackle other areas of the canal towpath across Hyndburn.
