Update 24 November 2025, 2:37pm
Unfortunately, due to further adverse weather conditions over the weekend, additional trees have fallen blocking navigation between Locks 14W & 12W.
Due to the recent storm Claudia we have experienced, our contractors are experiencing high work loads across the network and looking to remove as soon as possible.
We have not yet been able to reach all affected sites, but we are working through them as quickly as possible, and our teams remain focused on reopening our navigations and towpaths. We will provide further updates as soon as they become available.
We would like to thank our customers for reporting these issues, and we appreciate your patience as we continue to work across multiple affected locations.
We will provide a further update on or before Friday 28 November.

A tree has fallen and is currently blocking navigation and towpath, at Bridge 92, Egmont Street Bridge on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal.
We have instructed our contractors, however, at present, we are unable to confirm when the contractor will be on site as adverse weather conditions from Storm Claudia are impacting our waterways across the North West and causing delays.
We will provide a further update on or before Friday, 21 November.
