Description

Original 12 September 2025, 4:07pm

During a routine inspection at Marsh Lock, our team identified a number of electrical safety issues that require attention. In the interests of safety, we have taken the precaution of isolating the equipment.

Unfortunately, this means the lock is currently out of operation and cannot be used until the necessary remediation work has been planned and carried out. At this stage, the scope and complexity of the issues identified mean that further investigations are needed. These investigations will allow us to fully understand the extent of the work, ensure that the lock can be returned to service safely.

We appreciate that the closure of the lock may cause inconvenience, and we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding while these essential safety measures are undertaken. Please be assured that resolving the situation is a priority for our teams, and we are working to progress the necessary steps as quickly and thoroughly as possible.

A further update will be provided by Friday 19th, September.
