Reason: Low Water Levels
Subject to review on: 1 July 2026
| Closest waterway | Trent & Mersey Canal |
| Starts at | Lk 66, Bottom Lock - Off Side |
| Ends at | Lk 57, Top Lock |
Navigation is closed between Lock 57 and Lock 66 on the Trent & Mersey Canal due to vandalism, which has resulted in severely low water levels, where the paddles have been left open.
To allow the water levels to recover, navigation will remain closed until further notice.
A further update will be provided on Wednesday, 1 July.
