PaulJ Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Few stoppages in force at the moment- Brampton Lock is shut until further notice Eaton Socon Lock is shut to the 18th Sept And to finish it all off there has also been an oil spill so the River is shut between Houghton and Hemingford until further notice too..

Dave123 Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 is this because of low water levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Dave-Ouse is a little lower here and there but its not bad-Ive had no problems on it anyhow. I think its more a H&S /inspection issue on the gates as theres been a run of guillotine gate stoppages/restrictions at the moment all down the river. Oil spill is the unpredictable one at the moment-its just going to take as long as it does to sort. I havent seen it so dont know exactly how bad it is.
