Canal closed through lack of rain
Published: Friday, 30 August 2019
NOTWITHSTANDING the recent downpours where weeks rain came down in days, Pocklington Canal is closed through lack of water.
It is now closed at Thornton Lock (7) with Canal & River Trust stating that it is unable to maintain navigation from Thornton Lock upstream to Bielby Arm, Keith Gudgin reports.
Remaining closed
This came into force yesterday, Thursday, with the waterway closed until further notice, with it remaining closed until the 'feed increases'.
