Please be advised that due to the paddles being left open at Picketsfield Lock, the pound between Lock 71 and Lock 72 has been drained of water. We are currently working to refill the pound, which is expected to take several days. As a result, navigation in this section is temporarily closed until further notice. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience while we resolve the issue. You are welcome to contact us at [enquiries.walessouthwest@canalrivertrust.org.uk](mailto:enquiries.walessouthwest@canalrivertrust.org.uk) or 03030 404040 if you would like to discuss this information with a member of our Customer Service Team.
