The obstruction has been removed and the navigation is therefore now open.

Description

There is an obstruction blocking the bottom gate of Lock 10.

As this has left the gate inoperable we have unfortunately had to close the lock flight with immediate effect whilst work is carried out.

Further updates will be posted in due course.
