Descriptions

Update 30 June 2026, 1:57pm

The team have fitted the new paddles and the towpath side paddle is operable but we need a new rack for the offside.

This lock can be operated by using just the towpath paddle, so once water levels have recovered we can lift the stoppage.

We will assess water levels and provide a further update in the morning.

Original 30 June 2026, 9:52am

Our team are fitting a new paddle at lock 20. The locks from 19 to 24 must not be used until the work is complete and the team are safely away from the water.

This notice will be updated by 5pm today.
