Description

Original 20 August 2026, 9:26am

To help conserve water resources and support navigation through the current dry conditions, restrictions will be introduced at Calcutt Locks from Monday 24 August.

The locks will operate daily between 9:00am and 3:00pm, with boaters required to enter the flight no later than 2:00pm to ensure they are able to complete their passage within the available operating window. Outside of these hours, the locks will be closed to navigation.

We continue to monitor the situation closely and will keep these arrangements under regular review.

We appreciate boaters' patience and cooperation as we work to manage water resources and maintain navigation wherever possible. Before travelling, please check for the latest information on our website and plan your journey accordingly.
