It has taken longer to take the workboat around to Selby Lock than anticipated, so we are unable to complete the repairs today.

Our team will be on site tomorrow morning to carry out the repairs as well as remove the build-up of silt that has accumulated while the lock has been closed.

We will issue a further update tomorrow afternoon

We have attempted to carry out repairs today.

Unfortunately we have been unable to access the lock from the river side due to a build up of silt behind the lock gates.  We going to attempt to carry out repairs by accessing the lock from the canal side tomorrow.
