Canal Boat and other craft users are advised that navigation between Atherstone Lock No 1 and Atherstone Lock No 11 is to be restricted to within the hours 08:30 hours and 16:00 hours each day.

The restrictions have been introduced to conserve water due to the current low water levels on the Coventry and Ashby Canal summit pound and the Oxford Canal which supplies water to the summit.

Locks 1, 6 and 11 will be padlocked to prevent passage and if you wish to navigate the flight and complete it before the closure you must be either at Lock 1 or Lock 11 by midday as it takes approximately 4 hours to navigate this lock flight.
