Our team will be investigating a problem with the paddle at lock 2 which is not sealing and causing loss of water on the Bosley flight.

They are opening full time from the 27th. Notice has just come through.

 

to quote

We have had significant and sustained rainfall in the North West over the last couple of weeks which has improved our reservoir holdings sufficiently to ensure we have enough water for the remainder of the boating season.

We are pleased to advise, from Monday 27 July, we will remove the operating times and padlocks from the Marple and Bosley Lock Flights along the Peak Forest and Macclesfield canals.
