A large tree has fallen and is currently blocking navigation between Bridge 64 and Bridge 65 on the Macclesfield Canal. Due to the size and position of the tree, we have instructed our specialist contractors to assist with the removal. We will provide a further update on or before Wednesday 4 February.
