Description

Original 16 December 2025, 10:29am

The bottom gate of Tinsley No. 7/8 (Deep Lock) is blocked by an obstacle and will not close, therefore the Tinsley Lock flight is currently non-operational.

Plans are being made to get a workboat out to assess and clear the obstacle.

This notice will be updated on Friday the 19th of December.
