Description

Please be advised that we are experiencing some leakage at the upstream end of Holt Lock, which may cause boats to be pushed away from the hut side of the chamber whilst mooring. Customers should be prepared and ready to attach their lines promptly on arrival, when travelling upstream.

Please take care not to reach excessively when attaching your lines if affected and always follow the advice of the duty Lock Keeper.

For more info please call Holt Lock on 01905 620218 or the Gloucester Dock Office on 01452 318012.

The Canal and River Trust would like to thank you, for your patience and understanding whilst the Trust investigates and plans repairs.
