The Canal & River Trust has applied to Preston City Council
for the construction of pedestrian access to the existing pontoon on the land adjacent Lock No.9 Sea Lock on the Ribble Link off Blackpool Road. The proposed development is for the construction of an access track and ramp to a floating pontoon, which will provide essential pedestrian access to the waterway in the event of an emergency. Use of the access will be limited to single emergency events and is not intended for use by members of the public, including boaters. This status will be reinforced with locked entry via the gate sited beside Blackpool Road
