Description

A tree has fallen across the canal just west of Lock 72 - Cobblers Lock and is currently blocking the full width of the navigation.

Contractors will be attending on the morning of 15th July to start to clear the tree. An update will be provided by 11.00 to advise when the navigation is likely to be re-opened.

The towpath is unaffected and remains open.
