A navigation closure is in place for Woodnook Lock, Lock 6 on the Wakefield branch of the Aire and Calder Navigation. This is due to a broken collar making the gates unoperable. Unfortunately, it will take longer than 24 hours to repair, so we will look to update the notice on Friday 17th July at 4:30pm with any further information.
