Description

Original 23 February 2026, 2:24pm

Following a high‑priority tree survey at Jarvis Bridge on the Titford Canal in Sandwell, it has been determined that a dead sycamore tree must be felled for safety reasons. To facilitate this work, a temporary closure of the towpath and navigation in this area will be implemented on Wednesday 25 February.

Our contractor will be on‑site with banksmen present to prevent access into the work area and to ensure public safety throughout the operation.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation while these essential safety works are carried out.
