Due to paddles being left open overnight at Kidderminster Lock 6, we need to have a temporary closure of the S&W Canal between Kidderminster Lock 6 and Debdale Lock 9, to replenish water levels. Water will be run from Debdale and Wolverley to fill pound between locks 6 & 7.
This should take a few hours and we hope to reopen navigation early afternoon.
We will update as soon as levels have risen enough to reopen.
