Description

Original 27 October 2026, 1:32pm

Navigation remains blocked at Whyther Bridge.

Following recent storms, a large number of fallen trees have been reported across the waterway network. This has resulted in increased demand for tree clearance and recovery work, meaning the removal of the tree at Whyther Bridge is taking longer than anticipated.

Contractors are due to attend site on Wednesday 28 October to undertake the necessary clearance work.
