Time: 12:00 am – 12:00 am
Stoppages & Restrictions

Starts At: Lock 54, Cadley Lock
Ends At: Lock 55, Crofton Top Lock

RESTRICTION (1pm Friday 5 May 2023 until further notice)

Please be advised that we are experiencing low water levels on the Summit Pound between Lock 54 and Lock 55 due to continuing works to the pumping stations at Crofton and Caen Hill.

We have received a report of a grounding on this section, so advise customers to be mindful of the risk and to navigate with caution and at low speed.

We expect the situation to improve slowly with Caen Hill now temporarily back in service for the weekend.

It would help to sustain the canal through this period if customers could share the locks with other craft and ensure all ground paddles (top gates) are fully closed when leaving the locks.
