We apologise for the change in dates, please see update below.

There is a serious leak from the navigation just upstream of Zouch Lock which requires urgent attention.

In order to carry out repairs we need to dewater the section of navigation between Zouch Lock and the flood gates, which are about ½ mile upstream.  We will achieve this by closing the flood gates and draining the navigation through the lock, allowing our team to carry out repairs to the canal wall.

The works will commence on Monday 12th March at 8:00am and we aim to be completed by Friday 16th March at 5:00pm.
