Please be advised that a tree has fallen into the canal approximately 100 metres before Bridge 64 on the Worcester & Birmingham Canal in Alvechurch. The tree has fallen from the offside bank and is currently blocking the full width of the navigation. Our team is arranging for the tree to be removed as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding while these works are organised. Further updates will be provided as soon as more information becomes available.
