Closure due to low water levels between Gringley Lock and Shaw Lock

Following the recent reopening of this section, Between Gringley Lock and Shaw Lock has had to close due to Water levels on this section of the canal falling to a level where we need to temporarily suspend navigation. The local team will be ashing up the lock gates to allow water levels to recover and the canal to replenish. Taking this precaution now helps protect the navigation, minimise the risk of further water loss, and ensure the canal remains safe for all users. Our local team will continue to closely monitor water levels throughout this section, and we expect this to be a temporary measure. The canal will reopen as soon as conditions have recovered sufficiently for navigation to resume safely. We will provide a further update on Thursday 6th August on the progress of the recovery and will reopen the canal at the earliest opportunity.
