Description

Original 4 March 2026, 1:48pm

A void has appeared in the bed of the canal therefore the water level cannot be maintained at navigable levels.

Please do not attempt to navigate the Broad until we can fix it. The levels downstream of the void will also be affected as there's no flow to keep them navigable.

This notice will be updated on Friday the 6th of March.
