Making life better by water
Cancelled: We have had to defer this stoppage until more of the dredging of the canal and dock system is completed in order to get the necessary workboats to the location. By keeping the lock open during the stoppage period it should help facilitate boat movements between the dock and river (and vice-versa), which have been impacted by the shallow dock depths over recent months. We are working to reschedule these works for a future stoppage and will keep you updated as soon as we have more information.
