Whole of the river

This includes the whole of the river from Derwent Mouth Lock to the lock at Cromwell onto the tidal Trent.  The picture is of the weir at Sawley.

This of course also includes the lower reaches of the Soar, with all navigation halted.

It is expected to affect parts of Nottingham and Stoke Bardolph and properties around Cavendish Bridge.

Many other river navigations, particularly the Severn are also effected.
