Please be advised that the bumper plate on Yard Lock (Lock 28) has become detached and is currently only secured on one side.

The lock remains fully operational; however, boaters are asked to approach and use the lock with extra caution until repairs can be completed.

We are planning to attend site with a workboat to carry out repairs on Tuesday 7 July 2026.
