To help conserve water and manage available resources during the current period of prolonged dry weather, the Rushall Canal will be subject to daily operating restrictions until further notice.

The locks between Lock 1 and Lock 9 will will operate as follows:

• 8am – Locks open for navigation.
• 2pm – Locks closed for the remainder of the day.

Boaters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and allow sufficient time to clear the flight before the daily closure comes into effect.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience and cooperation while we take steps to protect water supplies and maintain navigation across the network.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide further updates as necessary.
