Please be advised that, due to the size of the tree, contractors have only been able to carry out partial clearance at this time. The obstruction is still affecting navigation. Narrowboats should be able to pass with care however, widebeam vessels may experience difficulty navigating through the area. Contractors are due to reattend today to continue work. We will provide further updates as soon as more information becomes available. Thank you for your patience and understanding
