Our suppliers are fabricating a replacement steel heel following an engineers visit.
Navigation is restricted to wide-beams but narrowboats will be able to use the other lock gate to navigate through the lock in the meantime.
We hope to be in a position to undertake heel repair works at Lock 32 towards the end of July.

We have made failed gate safe but this will only allow navigation for narrow boats & not wide beam vessels
We are currently unable to offer booked passage for widebeams until a temporary fix can be made.
Description
Navigation closed to manage water levels and repairs due to bottom gate heel post failure at Lock 32
