Description

Please be advised there is a windblown tree between south of Bridge 18, Malt Kiln through to Bridge 17 Cottam Hall Bridge. It is partially blocking the towpath area.

Contractors have been informed and we anticipate they will be on site first thing today to remove the obstruction.

Navigation will remain open; however, we politely request all customers to navigate through the affected area with care.
