Update 8 September 2025, 2:06pm
Contractors are currently on site and are working to remove the fallen tree limb. We expect navigation to be reopened by the end of the day.
Please note that the removal of the remaining debris is scheduled for tomorrow, so some material may still be present in the canal in the interim.
Original 8 September 2025, 1:27pm
A tree has fallen and is currently blocking navigation near Bridge 67 on the Trent & Mersey Canal, in Rugeley. The obstruction is too large for the local team to handle, and contractors have been instructed to attend the site.
The what3words location of the tree is https://what3words.com/roses.itself.moons
We will provide a further update as soon as we receive one.
