Preparations for dredging well underway

Many of you will have noticed the preparations around the canal and Crescent carpark for the dredging operations.

The dewatering area is now laid out within the carpark, and over the weekend 11th November the dredging pontoon was lifted onto the water in the Upper Basin and the excavator from which the dredging suction head will be operated was mounted on it.

Our plan continues to be to commence dredging in the zone between Truscott's Bridge and County Road Bridge later this week.

This project is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Cornwall Council has been chosen by Government as a Lead Authority for the fund and is responsible for monitoring the progress of projects funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
