Description

Original 26 November 2025, 10:51am

Several large trees have fallen and are currently blocking navigation between Lock 57 and Lock 58 on the Rochdale Canal.

Due to the size and position of the trees, we have instructed our specialist contractor to assist with the removal. At present, we are unable to confirm when the contractor will be on site as they are currently dealing with a back log from the high workload created from Storm Claudia.

We will provide a further update on or before Tuesday 2 December.
