Original 27 July 2026, 4:21pm

We have received a report of a tree which has fallen across the navigation, between Crowther Bridge and Freemans Bridge.

Part of the tree has been stripped away to allow passage for boats but may still present an obstruction so please take care when in the area.

Our contractor has been appointed and will attend within the week. This notice will be updated when the tree has been removed.
