Description

Original 3 December 2025, 10:34am

A fallen tree is currently restricting navigation, near Bridge 81, on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal.

Our teams have attended the site, however due to the size and position of the tree we need to instruct 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 dealing with a back log from the high workload created from the adverse weather conditions we have currently experienced.

We will provide a further update on or before Wednesday 10 December.
