TO cycle or not to cycle along the Bridgewater Canal tow path was a dilemma for visitors, Stockton Heath Parish Council heard.
Coun Wendy Emsley asked whether cycling was permitted.
“I see people cycling along and also people walking with bikes. I wonder what the situation is.”
Keen cyclist Coun Maurice Leslie said there was a possibility that cycling along the path was permitted.
*According to Waterscape, the official guide to canals, rivers and lakes, cycling is not permitted along much of the Bridgewater Canal, but the Trans-Pennine Trail and local routes pass the waterway at various points.

Cycling is not permitted along the towpath of the Bridgewater Canal according to Warrington Anglers Association bye laws. However that seems hypocritical when you find the Secretary of Warrington Anglers Association Mr Frank Lythgoe riding his bike along the towpath !!
