Please be aware that recent dry weather has led to low flow rates on the River Severn.

Boating customers should be conscious of the risk of shallows, stay in the channel and avoid cutting bends.

Please report any shallows encountered to Trust staff when passing locks, so that we can update our advice accordingly.
