We are pleased to announce that our team have now repaired the lock and the canal is back operational again.
Description
A boat passing through the staircase has caught the gate cill between lock 14 and 15, causing damage to the cill and making the lock inoperable. We have therefore needed to close the canal between Locks 14-17.
Assessment is taking place and staff will be on site Monday 24th June 19 in order to attempt to affect a temporary repair to allow the lock to reopen. Further updates will be made as soon as information is available.
