Description
We’re having to carry out an urgent repair at Branston Lock 8. The offside ground paddle top end has a blockage inside the culvert chamber. This is causing the lock to be very slow to fill, meaning boats are having to queue for a considerable amount of time.
A 2-day stoppage is therefore required. The stoppage will take place on Wednesday 11th October and Thursday 12th October.
Thank you for your patience while we carry out this vital repair.
