Please be advised that Lock 14 Bradford on Avon Lock is currently closed due to low water levels between Lock 14 and 15.
While water holdings across the canal network are higher than they were at this point last year, hot and dry weather can create extra challenges for boating and water supply. To make the most of the water we have in the reservoirs, we're trying to tailor the feed very accurately to the demand so water doesn't go to waste. If the demand is greater than we predicted or paddles get left up, then we may need short breaks to rebalance the supply, sometimes at short notice. We apologise for the disruption and thank you for your patience during these periods. If you see that water levels are looking unusually low, please let us know. Our teams actively manage water levels and can carefully refill low pounds, checking for problems and making sure moored boats on adjacent pounds stay safe.
