Essential paddle works are required at Eshton Road Lock 31. To ensure the repairs can be completed safely and effectively, a navigation restriction will be in place for the duration of the works. These works are necessary to maintain the continued reliability and safe operation of the lock.  The navigation will remain open during this time, but boats may be asked to wait briefly while the site is made safe for passage. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
