Descriptions

Update 21 July 2025, 10:55am

After a successful repair we are delighted to reopen Parndon Mill Lock for navigation.

Update 17 July 2025, 2:23pm

Unfortunately the fault has proven to be a more substantial issue than originally thought.

Our team continue to work on a resolution to get this reopened.

Original 16 July 2025, 8:41am

The top gate is out of the pot at Parndon Mill, and low water levels from Burntmill lock making the pound unnavigable.

Do not moor in pound between Burnt Mill and Parndon and hold off on journeys through the area until repairs have been made.
