Update 22 July 2025, 3:23pm
Thanks to the operatives, the top gates at Whitley lock have now been repaired and the lock is once again fully operational.
Update 21 July 2025, 10:16am
Unfortunately, we can no longer offer an assisted passage through the lock, due to having to repair the RAMs.
It is unsafe to use the lock while this work is being undertaken so the lock will remain closed until works have been completed. It is anticipated that this will by the end of this week and that the lock will reopen on Friday.
This notice will be updated as soon as we have more information regarding the reopening of the lock.
Update 19 July 2025, 10:55am
The top gates at Whitley lock have suffered some damage and are no longer safe to operate.
The lock is now closed until Monday until we can get them safe to use again.
Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
