Description

Original 9 September 2026, 2:37pm

A number of tree limbs have come down of a willow tree blocking the towpath on the section between Bridge 5, Coopers House Bridge and Station Road Bridge. It is located at the What3Words position of ///calculate.proofs.contained. We have raised the job with contractors and we are hoping to have them removed early tomorrow before noon if possible. We will update the notice, when the vegetation has been removed and the towpath is clear for pedestrian use.
