Unfortunately, contractors have been unable to attend to the tree at Perry Aqueduct today. As a result, we kindly ask that no bookings are made for Frankton Locks until the tree has been safely cleared.

We will provide a further update as soon as more information becomes available.

Update 11 August 2025, 3:18pm

The tree is too large for our Operations team to remove safely. As a result, contractors have been instructed to attend to the tree tomorrow morning.

We will provide a further update as soon as more information becomes available.
