Following a recent review, we're now confident that the works can be completed within a shorter stoppage window. The revised stoppage dates are 2nd February to 27th February.

This closure will now encompass two pieces of work. We will be doing offside abutment masonry repairs and general pointing to abutments below water level by Bridge 22, and Shaft blockage works to Lock 14.

Please note the towpath will no longer be closed during these works.
