Navigational Notes

Boaters will need to give the lock keeper here 24 hours notice before their passage.

The lock keeper is currently (2018) Mrs T Rootham-Hayward, and the phone number is 07824-600470.

Stanground Lock serves a dual role as a sluice as well as a navigation lock. When the sluice is open dangerous undertows may be encountered in the pens. For this reason in particular, navigators must not enter this lock without the attendance of the lock-keeper.
