March task partys continued offside cutting between the Marina and Lock 3. This included a fallen tree opposite the marina entrance, clearing the bridge hole at Butchers bridge, improving the line of site between locks 1 & 2 and cutting back a tree brought down by ivy between locks 2 & 3.
The plans for the second task party had to be changed due to the downpour experienced the week before. The damage it caused to the towpath at the tunnel entrance and at lock 5 needed repair. The time remaining allowed some onside cutting above lock 6. The arisings being eco-stacked on the offside bank.
A couple of ad hoc task partys this month saw the reclaimation of some condemed stop planks previously stored under Tommy's bridge. These were turned into benches and installed in the Jetty Fields pocket park.
