Unfortunately we have had to close the M&B Canal along this stretch due to a bed valve failure which has caused a small breach within the canal bed. The stretch of canal has isolated the issue and the teams have place holding stop planks at the bridges mentioned. Engineers will be on site in the morning and further updates will follow,
