I planted small yucca trees to the front garden 11 years ago and have been fantastically healthy until now and I have seen that all the yucca trees throughout Liverpool were we live have all lost there healthy top leaves leaving the trees bare, is there anything I can do to save the plants or will they now die obviously it was due to the severe snow and ice conditions during december

Are they yuccas or cordylines? Cordylines all over the country have been knocked out by the cold weather. If it's not weeping coloured gunge from soggy bits on the trunk all you can do is wait and hope that it regrows in the spring. If it is weeping, you'll need to cut off the trunk below the soggy rotten bit.
