We are continuing to experience low water levels between Aston Lock and Star Lock. To support recovery efforts, we have made the decision to fully close Aston Lock until 9am on 26th June (Thursday). This will allow us to retain as much water as possible in the affected section and prevent further loss. We understand this may cause inconvenience and appreciate your patience and cooperation while we work to restore safe navigation levels. Please avoid moving through this stretch as boat movement will hinder the recovery process.
