Since our previous update branches of the tree have been cut back making navigation possible for narrowboats only. Customers are advised to proceed with care and navigation past the tree. Wide beam vessels will not be able to pass.
In the meantime, our contractors are arranging for the specialist equipment required for the removal of the tree and planning a safe method of access to site.
A further update will be provided on or before Thursday 15 October.

Since our last update our contractors have attended site and found that the tree is larger than antipated.
In order to remove the tree safely our contractors are currently organising machinery to remove the tree.
A further update will be provided on or before Thursday 8 October.
