Update 5 April 2026, 1:32pm

A team will be on site tomorrow morning (Monday 6th April) to remove the tree.

Original 5 April 2026, 11:37am

A fallen tree is blocking the towpath between Bingley 5 Rise Locks and 3 Rise Locks. This is also extending in to the navigation, though is passable for most craft with care. Our contractors are currently prioritising numerous fallen trees following Storm Dave and will be attending at the earliest opportunity. This notice will be updated by Monday 6th April.
