| Closest waterway | Sheffield & South Yorkshire Nav |
| Starts at | Doncaster Lock |
| Ends at | Long Sandall Lock |
We are experiencing low levels between Doncaster Lock and Long Sandall Lock. A defective sluice is causing water leakage from the pound at Long Sandall. We are formulating a plan to repair this sluice. With low levels in the River Don we also have a limited amount of feed available due to EA restrictions.
