The charity making life better by water

Winter stoppage notices

We never stop working to improve our canals and rivers, so that they make life better by water for everyone, every day.

Each winter, when fewer boats are cruising our waterways, we usually carry out essential repairs and maintenance. In many cases we need to close the waterway completely, and sometimes even the towpath.

We also work with third-party companies, such as Network Rail & HS2, to enable them to carry out their own works during the winter period, where these affect our canals and rivers.
