I’m hoping you all have some advice on how to tackle or save this plant. I think it’s known as Spanish Dagger plant or Golden Yucca Gloriosa.

I’m based on the North West of England, so I suspect it receives far more water than is good for it ☹️

Would love some advice on how to save it

I would guess it might be fungal, from too much water. Yuccas are desert plants and prefer drier conditions. I would trim off the bad leaves. Then it looks like it's outside and if you're getting a lot of rain, try moving it to a covered spot protecting it.

Yeh, I thought it would probably be due to the wonderful northern weather. 😥
