Unfortunately our contractors have been delayed due to repairs taking longer than expected. This has resulted in the scaffolding not being removed till tomorrow morning.
We anticipate the canal to be back open by 12 noon on Friday 30th June 2017.

Description
We have been monitoring Lock 17W. The loss of water through the gates, cill and other parts of the lock is giving us concerns and causing problems in the pounds above this lock. We have an opportunity to carry out repairs from 27 to 29 June to reduce leaks through the gates, cill and elsewhere. We see this as important to ensuring we minimise the likelihood of more serious problems later in the year and until a winter stoppage is undertaken at the lock, planned for winter 2018.
Work is planned to take place from 27th to 29th June. The canal will be closed here during this time.
