Updates

13/12/2018 12:05

The gate replacements at Lock 16 have been completed one day earlier than scheduled. We are pleased to confirm the navigation has been re-opened today.

29/11/2018 13:30

The Lock 16 stoppage has been advertised as closed from Lock 13 down to Lock 16.

However, due to on-going difficulties with water control and flooding problems during recent stoppages, it is now necessary to restrict access to the whole of the Aylesbury Arm for the remaining stoppage period. The navigation closure for this stoppage will therefore start at Lock 1.

We apologise for any inconvenience this might cause.

Description

Repairs to Lock 16 will include the replacement of both top and bottom gates.

Repairs to Lock 15 were carried out earlier in the year under restriction.
