There is a sunken craft causing an underwater obstruction and it has moved position to the centre of the channel. We had a buoy previously and we are replacing this as soon as possible by the local team. The location is outside the Boat Inn pub (WF10 2BX) Allerton Bywater. Please slow down and approach the area with caution. The buoy is to be replaced to indicate the exact location and What3Words will be ///melt.fixed.nearly advise boaters. Should any further information be obtained, the notice will be updated.
