Description

Original 26 October 2026, 5:02pm

Navigation is currently closed at Bridge 5 on the Leigh Branch of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal due to a fallen tree.

Our local team are currently dealing with a high volume of fallen trees following Storm Beolo, which has resulted in a delay in their attendance at the site.

An update will be provided on or before Friday, 30 October.
