MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY

Manchester University students are about to complete a report on the  reconstruction of the canal aqueduct over the railway 400 metres north west of North Reddish station.

Last year the students completed a report that introduced the idea of locking down into Lower Gorton reservoir and up again to continue to Stockport together with  thoughts on obtaining a water supply from the Upper reservoir. This report has been forwarded to our stakeholders for appraisal.
