Amended Stoppage: Northampton Arm

Grand Union Canal Northampton Arm Locks 1-17


UPDATE (08 May 2012): Navigation conditions remain dangerous on the Nene currently. This situation is set to continue until the forthcoming weekend - i.e. Sat 12th/Sun 13th May.
Accordingly, we need to lock the Northampton Arm at Lock 17 with immediate effect to protect boats entering an unsafe environment of the River Nene.
We will liaise with the Environment Agency regarding conditions on the River Nene and will open the Northampton Arm when safe through passage is possible.
At this stage indications are that the River Nene will be passable from Saturday 12th May – if this is the case we will open the Northampton Arm at the same time for four days. This will be confirmed before Friday 11th May, depending on the Environmental Agency status.
