Description

Please be advised, as part of the winter works we have planned between 7th Nov 22 and 17th March 23, we will be looking to move all craft out of the section highlighted below, by the 6th November 22.

The engineers carrying out the work will be locking Locks 51 (Kennet Lock) and 61 (Crossing Lock) to stop any boats from accessing the area.

Keeping the area clear gives us the ability to do the work that we need.

The towpath will be closed between Locks 58 and 61 on the Crofton flight, a diversion will be clearly marked by local signage for the half-mile stretch.

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

You are welcome to contact us at enquiries.walessouthwest@canalrivertrust.org.uk if you would like to discuss this information with a member of our Customer Service Team.
