Description

Original 4 September 2026, 11:46am

Navigation is currently closed at Lock 4 on the Glasson Branch of the Lancaster Canal due to a damaged paddle, which is preventing the lock from filling.

Our team is attending site today to inspect the damaged paddle. Once the inspection has been completed, the team will be able to determine the most appropriate method of repair and establish a timescale for the works.

A further update will be provided on or before Thursday, 10 September.
