This notice is a duplicate and will be closed now - the following notice will be kept updated with all future information: Between Stanton Lock 65 to Hallam Fields Lock 66 | Canal & River Trust

Water levels remain low between Pastures Lock 64 and Hallam Fields Lock 66, and this section of the navigation remains closed to normal boat movement while we continue to monitor conditions.

To support access to Langley Mill Boatyard, we can arrange assisted passage through the affected section. If you need to travel to or from the boatyard, please contact our East Midlands customer service team:

Our team is available Monday to Friday, 8am to 4.30pm. To help us plan these movements safely and efficiently, please provide as much notice as possible when requesting a passage. However, we will do our best to accommodate requests wherever we can. We will provide further updates as the situation develops.

Update 28 July 2026, 12:50pm

Water levels remain low and this section of canal is still closed to navigation. The situation is being monitored daily, and this notice will be updated as conditions change.

Update 20 July 2026, 12:17pm

Water levels remain low, therefore this section of the navigation is still closed. We will update this notice when we have further information.

Original 18 July 2026, 11:13am

Due to low water levels, we have had to make the difficult decision to temporarily close a section of the Erewash Canal. The affected section is between Lock 64 (Pastures Lock) and Lock 65 (Stanton Lock). Please do not attempt to Navigate between these two locks until further notice, as water levels are too low for safe passage. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
