Swinon canal-side from the air
This spectacular drone shot is of the canal in Wichelstowe; you can see Dragonfly, still out of the water, then the Canalside development, and most importantly, where the canal will continue right up to the M4 - this has to be done by the time 2,000 houses have been built there; it will also link with the section at East Wichel, which is currently being investgated to find & fix the source of the leak there. The continuing canal line is obvious to start with, then very faint across a filed to the motorway; the new line will deviate off to the right, to cross under the M4 near the road crossing currently being constructed - if our bid to Highways England is successful (see map on website). Heartfelt thanks to Fabio Frazzica for kindly doing this for us.
