Description

Original 17 November 2025, 1:08pm

Approximately five trees have fallen along the Leek Branch between Bridges 7 and 8, currently obstructing navigation.

Our teams are responding to a high volume of fallen trees resulting from Storm Claudia. We are prioritising safety and addressing these incidents as quickly as our resources allow.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to reopen the affected route. A further update will be issued once navigation can safely resume.
