Join me in Derbyshire as we follow the beautiful chesterfield canal as the restoration continues in the west, aiming to plug the gap and join the rest of the restored Chesterfield Canal as it winds its way down to the River Trent.
Today we are at Staveley looking at the basin, lock and bridge and follow down through on the Staveley town deal. Under the massive road bridges and away from the old open cast line which now holds the basin. Here several railways crossed the canal which are now abandoned and the planned HS2 depot was to cross. Now the trans pennine trail needs to cross the canal at a new footbridge that takes the cycle way across the canal. We see the spade in the ground for the project as Dr Hardy starts the project which should see a bridge this year. Then the canal follows down onto puddlebanks which we will see very soon on the channel!

during the sort of winter months when you’re not going to disturb nesting and although this looks very Barren now it’s a major part of Rew in this area so yeah you lose some trees that’s sad but by the time this is rewatered with a green blue cor all the way through more planting done on the sides can all the way through you’re going to create a connected habitat which is going to be far better for biodiversity and and the genetics for all the creatures that live in it who can travel wider breed with different populations then it will be just to have isolated clusters of green area like we have now but let’s see what’s going on so we’re going to meet the contractors now and we’re going to see the start of the ceremony to begin this bridge which will hopefully be completed later in the year
