Description

Original 4 September 2026, 3:59pm

Navigation is currently restricted at Lock 58 on the Trent & Mersey Canal on the offside due to a rotten beam, which is making the offside lock inoperable.

Our team has attended site to assess the damage and are now planning a method of repair, to enable the lock to be safety operated.

The towpath side of the lock remains available for use.

The next update will be provided on or before Friday, 11 September.
