There has been a National Grid power outage at Mexborough Low Lock, resulting in a loss of power to the locks. Unfortunately, our backup generator has also failed.
A team will be on site tomorrow to investigate and rectify the issue and restore operation of the locks. We will provide a further update tomorrow once the situation has been assessed.
