Due to suspected vandalism resulting in a loss of water at Lock 5 on the Rufford Branch, we are restricting navigation for use between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm. To help prevent further incidents and protect water levels, Lock 5 will be locked and secured between 2:00 pm and 9:00 am daily.

Whilst the parts are on order, this restriction will be in place until our new anti-vandal locks can be fitted.

A further update will be provided on Friday 17 July.
