Please be advised that there is a tree down between Bridge 178 and 179 at the following what3words location: https://w3w.co/breed.sizes.placed.

Narrowboats are currently able to pass with caution, however passage is more difficult for Wide beam vessels.

We have arranged for our contractors to attend and remove the tree as soon as possible.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to resolve this and restore full navigation as quickly as we can.

We will provide a further update as soon as more information becomes available.
