Description

Original 25 July 2026, 12:57pm

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. Unfortunately levels have not restored sufficiently and we must keep the closure in place, we hope that it will recover during Saturday so we can open Sunday morning 26/07/2026. a team member should be there for 9.00am to review situation and open if levels have recovered sufficiently.
