The size and location of the tree means that we require access through the nearby farmers field, to be able to clear it from the navigation.  

Unfortunately, this field is currently being harvested and we will not be able to gain access for at least 10 days.  

Narrowboats can still get past but please proceed with care.  Wide-beam craft are advised not to travel until the tree has been cleared.  

We aim to access the tree during the week of 21st July and we shall update this notice by 25th July or sooner if we have more information.

Narrowboats should be able to get past, but please proceed with care.  

Wide-beam craft are advised not to travel until the tree has been cleared.  

We are working to have the tree removed as quickly as possible and will update this notice as soon as we have more information.
