Please be advised that three fallen trees are currently blocking navigation between Minworth Top Lock and Tyburn Bridge.
Due to the size of the trees, specialist contractors have been engaged as the work is beyond the capability of our local team. The contractors have been contacted and we are awaiting further information regarding their attendance.
We will provide a further update as soon as more information becomes available.
