Navigation remains closed between Lock 65 and Lock 85 on the Wigan Flight of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal due to vandalism, which has resulted in severely low water levels, where the paddles have been left open.
Our team are continuing to replenish the pounds however, this may take a few days for water levels to recover.
We really appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to get the levels back to normal.
