Description

Original 18 June 2026, 2:30pm

On Lock 13, the head paddle on the towpath side is broken and is not operational. Please use the head paddle on the offside to operate the lock. This may take a little longer to fill with it operating on the one paddle. We are looking to have it repaired in 4 weeks. We will update the notice should we receive any further information earlier.
