Description

Original 7 August 2026, 10:53am

A temporary navigation closure has been place between Bank Newton and Gargrave following high levels of boat traffic over the week. This closure is necessary to allow water levels within the section to recover to a suitable level. Our local team will continue to closely monitor water levels and will carry out a further assessment at midday on Monday 10th August. A further update will be provided once this assessment has been completed.
