Two trees have been badly damaged in the recent storms and are hanging over the canal navigation. This is a danger to boats going past as they could injure somebody or damage a boat. The contractors have had the issue raised and will deal with it as soon as they can.
Please do not pass the trees until they have been made safe by the contractors. We will update this notice when they have dealt with them.
