Please be advised navigation is currently closed between Lock 1 West and Lock 32 West on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal due to a leak flowing into a culvert between Lock 12 West and Lock 13 West in Micklehurst causing low water levels. Our local team are on site investigating the leak and planning a method of repairs. A further update will be provided on or before Thursday 20 August.
