| Ends at | Lock 7 |
The pound between Lock 6 and Lock 7 on the Rochdale Canal is experiencing low water levels and is current not navigable. The padlocks will be left on the Lock 7 until the levels recover to a navigable level. The notice will be lifted when the water levels are enough for boat movement.
