Description

Original 17 June 2026, 10:14am

Please be advised that navigation will be temporarily closed at Lock 3, Worcester due to a paddle being out of operation.

Our team are planning to attend site to carry out repairs on Wednesday 1 July, and the navigation will be closed between 7:30am and 1pm.

We are hopeful this will be a straightforward repair and will reopen the navigation as soon as possible once works are completed. This notice will be updated if the repair is completed earlier than expected.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience while we carry out these essential works.
