Effect on Unpowered Boats(e.g canoes/kayaks/paddleboards:
Closed
Full Update:
A large oak tree has fallen across the Canal above Lock 1, and has unfortunately ripped away part of the bank resulting in an unplanned spill of water through the bank into neighbouring gardens. Water levels have been reduced in the pound between Locks 1 and 2 so that there is no further spillage of water. Houseboat residents who were not in when our site staff called may need to adjust their mooring lines and service connections as water levels will be held low until a repair can be carried out. The towpath will remain closed until the tree is cleared – expected 2 – 3 days. The navigation will remain closed and water levels lowered until both the tree is cleared, and a repair can be made to the bank – this is likely to take several weeks.
