Please be advised that Froxfield Lock is currently closed due to low water levels and in response to customer feedback regarding navigational conditions.

The situation is being monitored closely and it is anticipated that water levels will recover sufficiently to allow the lock to reopen by the weekend.

We apologise for any inconvenience this temporary closure may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding.
