Descriptions

Update 14 April 2026, 7:28am

Due to ongoing drainage problems and frequent blockages at the existing elsan, we will be installing a new elsan facility to provide a more reliable service for boaters.   Work is due to start next week and is expected to take around two weeks to complete.   The new elsan facility will be located on the north side of the locks. This location has better access to utility connections, which will significantly reduce the drainage issues currently experienced and improve long‑term reliability.

Update 10 April 2026, 8:03am

The elsan remains out of order, we are working to fix this as soon as possible.

We will update this notice as soon as we have further information.

Original 2 April 2026, 12:58pm
