Description

Original 16 November 2025, 11:52am

At least four trees are down across the canal and towpath between Dimmingdale and Cookley. We are working with contractors and the local team to get these prioritised and removed, but please be aware that we are dealing with at least 40 trees across our area at the moment, so it may take a few days to get everything cleared and open. We will update this notice regularly with more information.
