Due to low water levels, navigation remains closed between Lock 1 West and Lock 32 West on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal.

We will continue to monitor the situation daily, and as soon as the water levels have recovered sufficiently to allow for safe navigation, the closure will be lifted.

While water holdings across the canal network are higher than they were at this point last year, hot and dry weather can create extra challenges for boating and water supply.

To make the most of the water we have in the reservoirs, we're trying to tailor the feed very accurately to the demand so water doesn't go to waste. If the demand is greater than we predicted or paddles get left up, then we may need short breaks to rebalance the supply, sometimes at short notice. We apologise for the disruption and thank you for your patience during these periods.

If you see that water levels are looking unusually low, please let us know. Our teams actively manage water levels and can carefully refill low pounds, checking for problems and making sure moored boats on adjacent pounds stay safe.

A further update will be on or before Monday, 27 July.

Navigation has been closed between Lock 1West and Lock 32West on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal due to low water levels along the canal resulted from the continued dry weather conditions.
