Please be advised that two trees have fallen between Bridge 13 and Bridge 14 in Brewood, obstructing both the navigation and the towpath. One tree has fallen from the towpath side and one from the offside.

Storm Goretti has impacted a number of our waterways, resulting in a high volume of incidents. Our teams are prioritising safety and are working to clear obstructions and reopen affected routes as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience while these matters are addressed and will provide updates as soon as they become available.
