Original 20 March 2026, 9:01am

Following on from previous works third party contractors will be on site this weekend (21st - 22nd March) to reinstate the paving on the approach to the steps up from Sainsburys car park. They will also return in the coming week to commission the street light using a cherry picker situated at the bottom of the steps.

Boaters will be unaffected and access to/from the lock will be available via the ramp next to the steps.

This notice will be updated once the work has been completed.
