Reason: Low Water Levels
Subject to review on: 9 July 2026
| Closest waterway | Rochdale Canal |
| Starts at | Lock 25 |
| Ends at | Lock 30 |
The navigation is closed from Lock 25 to Lock 30 due to heavy boat use yesterday making the pounds too low for navigation. We need to refill them to make the level sufficient for boat movement. The team will be closely monitoring the water levels and will update the notice when it has recovered.
