Description

Original 29 January 2026, 4:45pm

Please could boaters be aware that scaffolding has been installed below the footbridge, reducing the headroom available. This is to facilitate works which are underway to construct steps up on to the footbridge at its upstream end.

A clear route has been left so that boaters have access to the lock gates from the pontoon on the river. Please take care when passing the work site and co-operate with requests from site staff
