Description

Original 23 June 2026, 3:26pm

The crown of a tree on the offside has snapped off and fallen into the canal, blocking part of the navigation. The exact location of the tree is ///parading.others.viewer located between Bridge 30a, Dobroyd Bridge and Lock 20. The removed of the tree limb/crown has been placed on a 24 hour response, so we anticipate the removal will be complete by Tuesday 24th June at 5:00pm. Should there be any delays in the removal or difficulties in retrieving the tree, we will update the notice accordingly.
