Droylsden Marina in use!
The new Marina at the Droylsden end of the Hollinwood Canal is now in use and boats have started to moor there.
The management of the marina is being carried out by Portland Basin Marina and enquiries about moorings should be made to 0161 330 3133.
Construction of the homes and offices in the Droylsden Wharf scheme around the marina is currently on hold due to the recession, so there had been worries that the marina might sit disused for a while.
The floating mooring pontoons were put in place by development owners Watkin Jones. Guy Holding of Portland Basin Marina has installed power and water and made access to the pontoons secure.
Boats moored at the floating pontoons
The marina offers boaters electrical power metered to every boat, water supply on the pontoon and secure lock-in access. Elsan disposal is available nearby at Fairfield Junction. Gas bottles can be supplied.
Boats moored at the floating pontoons
The marina is close to frequent bus services, Droylsden Library, shops and a 24-hour Tesco.
Guy says that he has had a lot of enquiries and hopes to fill the pontoons before long.
