Advice: Welford Arm Lock 1

Waterway: Welford Arm (Leicester Line) »

From 28/10/2011 until further notice

Due to low water stocks in reservoirs the Welford Arm Lock 1 may be closed periodically to allow us to maintain water levels in the arm. This closure will allow the pump to move water to the Leicester summit back into the arm to help the water level.

Whether or not this action is required will depend on the number of boats passing through Welford Lock 1.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused
