Description

Contractors will be working in the lock to prevent leakage by injecting resin grout into the walls, the grout packers to the walls will be protected by hanging rubber tyres down the face of the wall. This will take two weeks, and then the contractors will be working upstream injecting behind the towpath wall.

The Contractors staff will pen boats through the locks, however there may be a short delay.
