Please be advised that due to the size of the tree and limited access to it, our contractors are not going to be able to remove the tree until tomorrow morning. We apologise for any inconvenience that this will cause to boaters and towpath users.

A fallen tree is blocking the navigation and some of the towpath after it fell from the offside bank, about 200 metres south of Tamhorn Park Bridge. Our contractors have been informed and are expected to attend as soon as possible to remove the obstruction. We will provide a further update once the obstruction has been cleared.
