Since publishing this notice the continued lack of prolonged rainfall means that our reservoirs are depleted and the feed from them needs to be turned off to allow them to replenish. This means that, from 4pm on Thursday 6th November, the navigation from Foxton Lock Flight through to Kilby Lock 30 will also be closed. More information can be found in a separate notice here.
The navigation remains closed between Kilby Lock 30 and Kings Lock 38. We will continue to monitor the situation and will update this notice by Thursday 11th December or sooner if the situation changes.
