Update 17 May 2026, 9:13pm
The narrowboat has now been successfully removed from Lock 12 on the Bosley Flight, Macclesfield Canal. However, navigation will remain closed between Lock 1 and Lock 12 while we await our engineers' attendance to inspect the damaged tail gates at Lock 12. This damage is preventing the lock from sealing, resulting in the lock being filled and operated safely.
Original 16 May 2026, 5:35pm
Navigation is currently closed between Lock 1 and Lock 12 on the Macclesfield Canal due to a boat becoming stuck on the cill at Lock 12. We are currently awaiting attendance from River Rescue. A further update will be provided once the boat has been removed from the lock.
