K&A Canal re-opened after fallen tree blocks navigation

Boats could not navigate through the Bath Valley on the Kennet & Avon Canal for much of today (Tuesday 24 May 2011) because of a tree that had fallen across the canal near Claverton. 
     British Waterways contactors were called in and they quickly dealt with the problem. The canal was re-opened by late afternoon.
