Update 23 July 2025, 1:20pm

We have identified a large log blocking the offside ground paddle culvert, attempts to dislodge it have been unsuccessful, Our contractor will need to deploy further equipment and resource to hopefully dislodge the obstruction.

For this to be implemented, we've extended this stoppage until the 24th of July.

Original 2 May 2025, 10:17am

It is taking longer than usual for the lock to fill due to a blocked ground paddle pipework. Method to clear the blockage are being planned
