Description
Updates
Unfortunately, due to this continuation of dry weather, after all our efforts to feeding water down to re fill the flight, the water resources remain low and therefore navigation remains closed between Lock 1 and Lock 6 on the Glasson branch. With the complex issue of raising the water levels, our local teams will continue to monitor and review this again next week. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused to your boating plans. A further update will be provided Wednesday 28 May.
5/19/2025Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control with the water resources, sadly we are unable to open the canal between Locks 1 and Lock 6 on the Glasson branch as the water levels have decreased significantly over night. We will need to investigate why and while we do we are securing the gates and installing tarpaulin to ensure we protect the canal levels in the Lancaster canal. We do apologise for any inconvenience this may of caused and affected your boating plans. A further update will be provided Monday 19 May.
