We need to complete essential repairs at Lock 63 on 15 March 2018.

All vessels moored between locks 63 and 64 will need to be clear of the pound by 8am on Thursday 15 March so that we can drop the water level by 1200mm. 

Boats will be able to return to the pound at the end of the day. 

Thank you for your patience as we undertake these essential repairs.

Description

We will be dropping the water level between Lock 63 and Lock 64 for urgent repairs to Lock 63.

If any boats moored between these locks could move out of the pound for the day that would help us a lot. However, if that's not possible, Canal & River Trust staff will be on hand to loosen ropes and push boats off to keep them upright while we drop the water.

Thank you for your patience as we carry out this urgent repair work.
