Overhanging trees on the Coventry Canal
Please be advised that large branches from two willow trees are hanging very low across the width of the canal between Bridge 13 and Hawkesbury Junction.
The branches have dropped significantly over the last few days and may come into contact with the roof of a boat. Boaters are advised to proceed with caution when navigating through this area.
Our Operations team and contractors will be attending the site at midday today to assess the situation and determine what works are required.
We apologise for any inconvenience and will provide a further update once the assessment has been completed.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
