A tree is currently blocking the navigation and towpath between Lock 30 & 31 in Lowsonford on the South Stratford Canal. Please note that our teams are responding to multiple fallen trees as a result of Storm Claudia. We are prioritising safety and addressing these issues as quickly as resources allow. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to reopen the affected route. An update will be issued once navigation can safely resume
