Description

Original 26 October 2026, 10:04am

Please be advised that navigation is currently closed north of Featherbed Lane, Wilmcote, due to a fallen tree blocking the canal.

Contractors have been requested to attend and remove the obstruction. However, they are currently responding to multiple incidents resulting from Storm Austen and Storm Boelo, which brought adverse weather conditions over the weekend. As a result, response times and the progress of clearance works may be affected.

We apologise for the inconvenience and will provide a further update once more information becomes available.
