 The 3 uppermost locks will close in sequence as shown below.  There will be windows for passage if required and of course, if flood levels and flow allow. Advance booking of the locks during wither will still apply. Mark Abraham from the Canal & River Trust have advised that every effort will be made to facilitate passage where possible.  i.e works at each lock will take a few days to set up and if possible, boats will still be allowed through.
