Descriptions

Update 11 June 2026, noon

The repair to the ground paddle is more extensive than expected and may require a full paddle post replacement.  The lock is still operable but will take longer to fill than usual.

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

Original 9 June 2026, 11:06am

The towpath ground paddle at Weston Lock 4 on the Trent & Mersey is out of order, however, lock remains operational.

We are working to repair this as soon as possible and will update this notice when we have further information.
