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.
As a result of vandalism, the water levels around lock 14 Rochdale Canal, are too low to navigate.
To allow this pound to recover, we are having to put a closure on the locks between 9 and 16.
We will review the water levels and update this notice on 18th July.
