To refit the bottom end gate.     

We are taking the opportunity to bring the closure at Lock 25 forward from January 2018.  This is to enable the work to be carried out whilst the navigation is closed for essential water conservation works at Lock 35 Whetstone Lane, Leicester Line.  This will reduce the impact of the winter stoppages in the local area.

Description

To refit the bottom end gate.

Following customer feedback, the dates for closures in the Foxton area have been re-arranged to allow windows for navigation north and south.
