A large tree has fallen and is currently blocking navigation and towpath between bridges 26 and 27 on the Lancaster Canal. Our teams have attended the site, however, due to the size of the tree we need to instruct our specialist contractor to assist with the removal. At present, we are unable to confirm when the contractor will be on site as adverse weather conditions from Storm Amy are impacting our waterways across the North West and causing delays. We will provide a further update on or before Thursday, 9th October.
