Please be aware, we are taking the opportunity whilst working at Lock 8 to carry out the relining of the bottom gates at Lock 7, Acton’s Lock. This will significantly reduce the water loss issues currently being experienced.
The duration of the stoppage will not be affected by these additional works.

Carry out repairs to the lock gates to improve their ease of use.
Please note the dates for this closure have been amended to enable the local team also to carry out the gate replacement works at Winkwell, on the Grand Union Canal.
