Due to a breach that occurred today at Bridge 31A on the Whitchurch By-Pass Bridge, Llangollen Canal, our teams need to close the lock flight between Povey's Lock and Hurleston Locks. This closure is necessary to allow our teams to manage and stabilise water levels safely and effectively for boats currently remaining in the affected pounds. The water supply to these sections has been impacted by the breach, and restricting movement is essential for all boats in this area. Further information about the breach, along with ongoing updates, can be found here
