Work to repair the rotating waterway wall in Lock 51 pound will now commence on 22nd January 2018 and last for 8 weeks.

A revised design for the work has provided a more cost effective solution which can be delivered in a shorter timescale.

A towpath closure is required for the duration of the works but diversions will be clearly signposted on site.

Other closures in the area will still commence on 2nd January and the Tardebigge flight will remain closed until 16th March, with a navigation window on 20th - 21st January.
