Following a recent dewatered inspection of West Stockwith Lock, additional work has been identified that we would like to complete during the stoppage starting on the 3rd of November 2014.

This additional work involves the replacement of both ground paddles and is important for the continued operation of this lock.

 To do this additional work we require the stoppage period to be extended by one week and so the lock will be closed until 1st December 2014.

Description

This closure of the navigation is required so that we can replace the top gates to this lock as the current ones are nearing the end of their useful life. Whilst on site we will be taking the opportunity to replace lock ladders, to bring them up to current standard. We will also be refurbishing the sluice mechanism gearbox.
