A fallen tree is currently blocking the towpath between Bridge 84, Somerset Road (WB-046-002) and Bridge 83, Pritchetts Road, near ///atom.tests.rainy. Our contractors have been asked to attend.
Storm Goretti has impacted a number of our waterways, resulting in a high volume of incidents. Our teams are prioritising public safety and are working to clear obstructions and reopen affected routes as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience while this matter is addressed and will provide further updates as they become available.
