A tree has fallen down, blocking the navigation just south of Ebstree Lock. The tree fell from the off-side towards the towpath and is blocking the canal only - the towpath remains open. A contractor will be required to deal with the tree and reopen navigation, this is hoped to be dealt with on 09/09/2026.
