Description

Original 1 May 2026, 1:22pm

Navigation is currently closed at Lock 12 on the Ashton Canal due to a dislodged tailgate paddle. This issue is causing the lock to lose excessive amounts of water and prevents it from being operated.

Our team has inspected the fault and is arranging the necessary materials.

A further update will be provided by 4:00 pm on or before Wednesday, 6 May.
