Dozens of people have joined forces to spread the message "Save Our Canal" following weeks of low water levels threatening wildlife.
In recent months, a drastic drop in water levels of the Sankey Canal has caused a crisis for the local ecosystem. Previous footage and images shared with the ECHO shows the extent of the issue in Widnes, with large Carp left in inches of water, and boats on the canal having beached.
Concerned residents have banded together in an attempt to get help from the council to save the canal - forming the "Save Our Sankey Canal" Facebook page. On Saturday, dozens of people came together to show their support with an organised peaceful gathering.
