Please be advised there is a large tree partially blocking the navigation between lock 69 and 70. We have had reports that narrow beams are able to pass however wide beams can not. Contractors are aware and will clear as soon as possible.

Further updates will be provided as soon as more information becomes available. You are welcome to contact us at [email protected] or 03030 404040 if you would like to discuss this information with a member of our Customer Service Team
