AS THERE HAS BEEN no further significant rainfall, there are to be further restrictions for Foxton Locks.
From next week the flight will be closed during the week, Keith Gudgin reports.
From Wednesday the 16th July the locks will be closed at 4pm until 8am Friday morning as a temporary measure.
Impact on reservoirs
Canal & River Trust tells it has continued to monitor the exceptionally dry conditions, and the impact on its reservoirs. But with the lack of significant rainfall and efforts to reduce the demand for water, the situation has not improved.
So these additional measures will be introduced to help conserve water.
The situation will be monitored and an adjustment may have to be made to the period the flight can be open, depending on rainfall.
