THE Hennerton backwater in Wargrave is open again after a fallen tree was cleared. 

The large willow had fallen about 300m downstream of Jackson’s Bridge.

Tree surgeon Timothy Dodds-Wilson and volunteers from the Hennerton Backwater Association removed the tree. 

On Tuesday, Mr Dodds-Wilson helped the association to fell a poplar tree 200m downstream of Johnson’s Bridge.

The backwater was closed while the tree was removed in the interests of safety.
