Pomona Lock charge increases

Boaters using Pomona Lock, off the Bridgewater Canal, will now pay an increased charge of £21 a boat.

Boats returning through the lock on the same day will only be charged a single fee. The charge will not apply to Bridgewater Canal licence holders.

Pomona Lock connects the Manchester arm of the Bridgewater Canal with Pomona Lock, the Upper Reaches of the River Irwell, Salfoprd Quays and the Manchester Ship Canal. Boaters wishing to reach the newly re-opened Middlewood Locks section of the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal need to use Pomona Lock.
