Please be advised that, due to low water levels below Lock 14 (Brick Lock) on the River Stort, a navigation closure is currently in place to allow water levels to recover. We thank you for your patience and understanding on this whilst we allow water levels recover. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on this notice. The navigation closure will be lifted as soon as conditions allow and it is safe to do so.
