Description

Original 24 July 2026, 3:57pm

Navigation is closed between Lock 67 and Lock 68 on the Trent & Mersey Canal due to the paddles being left open, resulting in low water levels.

Our local team are aware of the situation and are currently on site, feeding water down to the affected area to restore water levels.

We anticipate that this will take several hours to complete, allowing sufficient water to be replenished for navigation to reopen by 8am, tomorrow Saturday 25 July.
