The navigation is now open. The Environment Agency have confirmed they have cleared as much oil as possible. Small pockets will remain around moored boats, which we will continue clean over upcoming weeks.

Thank for your patience’s and cooperation over the last 5 weeks.

Update on the closure following the pollution incident.

The Environment Agency contractors, supported by the Trust, are still clearing the oil where it has collected at the boom at Lea bridge Road and further down at Old Ford Lock. This is causing the closure to remain in place.

Movement from Old Ford Lock up to the boom at Lea Bridge is still allowed along with movement north of the boom to Tottenham lock. Sanitary facilities are still available at Springfield marina. .

Please DO NOT cross the boom at Lea Bridge Road.

Boaters are asked not to break the booms or go through any of the closed off locks whilst the clean up efforts are still ongoing.

We would like to thank all the boaters and members of the public that gave up their time to help with clean up last week.
