Due to low water levels and our need to preserve water to maintain safe navigation, we will be closing navigation from lock 10, Johnsons Lock to Lock 12, Commercial Road Lock on the Regent's Canal. We recognise that this closure is unfortunate and may cause disruption to travel plans. However, these temporary measures are necessary to help safeguard navigation and manage the available water resources effectively. We will be reviewing these measures on Thursday 6th August at 10am and will provide an update. We appreciate your cooperation and patience during this time.
