Subject to review on: 24 June 2026
| Closest waterway | Rochdale Canal |
| Starts at | Lock 6, Brearley |
| Ends at | Lock 6, Brearley |
Lock 6 is closed due to the ashing of the lock gates which will help to retain water and allow the water levels to recover. We will closely monitor the water levels and will review the issue tomorrow, allowing the water levels to recover overnight.
