As there has been no significant rainfall since our previous update, the closure of the Caldon Canal between Hazelhurst Lock and Froghall remains in place. We are actively monitoring water levels and weather forecasts, and we will reopen the canal as soon as it is safe to do so.

As a result of the prolonged dry weather, we have taken the difficult decision to close the Caldon Canal between Hazelhurst Lock and Froghall to general boat traffic from 9:00 AM on Monday 26th May 2025. This action is necessary to help manage depleting water supplies and protect the remainder of the Caldon Canal. It will also help us continue supporting navigation on the Trent & Mersey Canal for as long as possible while dry conditions persist. We understand this may be disappointing and are committed to supporting those affected. If you require essential passage on or off the lower section of the Caldon Canal, please contact our customer service team on 0303 040 4040 or at enquiries.westmidlands@canalrivertrust.org.uk. A member of our local operations team will get in touch to discuss your needs - though we ask that you only request passage if it is essential. We are monitoring the situation closely and will reopen the canal as soon as conditions allow. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to manage the network responsibly during this exceptionally dry period.
