Description

Original 20 July 2026, 1:47pm

The Northampton Flight from Lock 1 to 13 has been closed due to an issue with Lock 13. The lower gate paddle has failed which means the lock is inoperable.

The team will attend site tomorrow to further investigate and we will update this notice as soon as we have further information.
