Please note, we advise boats to avoid mooring between Brick Lock and Lower lock until the levels have stabilised.

Original 30 July 2025, 2:36pm

We are experiencing low levels on the River Stort between Hunsdon Lock and Lower Lock.

To try and raise the levels, we have added tarps to the top gates and chained the paddles.

Once levels are stabilised we will make an assessment.

Please avoid mooring in between Brick Lock and Lower Lock until levels have stabilised.

Thank you for your understanding.
