Description
Due to a pollution incident on the River Salwarpe, the Environment Agency (EA) has advised that we close the lock onto Vines Park Droitwich to minimise any possible pollution to the barge canal and Vines Park.
At the moment it is hoped that the pollution will have passed within 24 hours, but we are following the advice of the EA so it may be a little longer.
