We have continued to monitor the water levels, but despite our best efforts, the decision has been made to close this section from Tuesday 28th July.

Kings Lock and Kibworth Lock will be locked from 3pm on Monday 27th July.

We would encourage all boaters to move off this stretch while navigation is still possible, however movement in between the locks will still be available.

The situation is being continually monitored and reviewed, and should water levels recover to safe levels, we may revert back to restricted opening times. We will continue to keep customers updated as the situation develops.
