Description

Original 7 May 2025, 2:59pm

Please be advised that a large tree has fallen and is currently blocking navigation at Bridge 96, Whitebridge Lane Bridge. Our contractors have been contacted and are expected to attend today.

While we are aiming to have the obstruction cleared by the end of the day, due to the size of the tree, specialist equipment may be required, which could affect the timeframe for removal.

Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve the situation as safely and promptly as possible.
