A relaxing river cruise between Springfields Outlet Shopping and Spalding Town Centre

*********Spalding Water Taxi 2024 Press Release***********

Following a review of anticipated river levels for this summer, Broadgate Homes and South Holland District Council as joint partners in the ‘Not for Profit’ Spalding Water Taxi have concluded that unfortunately the service will not be able to operate this summer. The river levels are expected as a result of the bank breaches in the Cowbit area, and the important repair work being undertaken by the Environment Agency.

Broadgate Homes said that it was a huge disappointment that the Water Taxi will not be able to operate it’s award-winning service for the local community and visitors this season, however safety of our passengers and crew is paramount. Areas along the route between the town centre and Springfields does not have enough depth to allow safe passage and with no set date for completion of the engineering works to the riverbank we have had to make this difficult decision.

We are sorry for any inconvenience and look forward to welcoming all our loyal customers and many new ones on board next year.
