Description

Original 17 July 2026, 10:44am

A large tree has fallen into the river from the south bank at Lower Worsall with the roots still attached to the bank. The navigation channel has been reduced to about 2 metres wide on the north side. Smaller crafts may be able to pass, but there may also be underwater obstacles that we cannot yet see. The local team have been notified and we are still retrieving further information
