Please be advised navigation is currently closed at Lock 46, on the Leeds & Liverpool canal. This is due to vandalism, which has resulted in a closure.
Our local team have visited the lock and it's not an easy repair, therefore our engineers have been informed. Once the assessment has been made and works for repair can proceed, we will update you all accordingly.
To ensure the safety of our customers, padlocks have been placed on Bottom Lock 51 and Top Lock 45 to prevent access on to the Barrowford Lock Flight.
