Description

Original 21 November 2025, 4:14pm

A fallen tree is currently blocking navigation and towpath between Bridges 5 and 5A on the Leeds & Liverpool 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, 28 November.
