Description

Original 14 November 2025, 2:11pm

A large tree has fallen and is blocking the navigation and towpath, between Bridges 23 Stanley Hall Bridge and Bridge 24, Wood End Lift Bridge on the Peak Forest Canal.

We have instructed specialist contractors to assist with the removal, however due to adverse weather conditions from Storm Claudia we are unable to confirm specific timescales when the contractors will be able to attend site.

We will provide a further update on or before Monday, 17 November.
