When we dewatered the lock to carry out repairs to the mite post we found that the bottom cill was broken up with signiciant cracking and displacement of the concrete. This concrete is being broken out and replaced and the work and the stoppage is now due to be completed on Saturday 25th January at lunch time

We have now determined the extent of the defect and the repairs required to return the lock to operation.

When we dewatered the lock to carry out repairs to the lock gates we found that the bottom cill was broken up with signiciant cracking and displacement of the concrete. This concrete is being broken out and replaced and the work is  likely to extend the stoppage until 31st January.

We will keep this updated as we get further information in.
