We are currently experiencing low water levels between Ervins Lock 32 and Bush Lock 33, near South Wigston on the Leicester Line (Grand Union Canal).

Passage through the locks is not possible while the team carry out water control, it may take until tomorrow evening for the levels to be restored.

We will update this notice once we have further information.
