We are currently experiencing low water levels on the Lee Navigation. To help recover the levels we will be locking up Ponders End Lock 14 and Picketts Lock 15 from 1500 on Thursday 13th August for an overnight closure with them being unlocked at 0900 on Friday 14th August. Should levels not recover sufficiently then a full weekend closure will be explored.
