Wolverhampton lock flight is currently closed due to a number of fallen trees obstructing the navigation and towpath. This issue will be reported to our contractors. Storm Goretti has impacted several of our waterways, resulting in a high volume of incidents. Our teams are prioritising public safety and are working to clear obstructions and reopen affected routes as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience while this matter is addressed and will provide further updates as they become available.
