On inspection, it has been found that following a collision that the elbow holding the footboards have been significantly damaged and causes a hazard to users of the lock. The offside tail paddle is out of service whilst we get the footboard platform replaced. The reactive team will be carrying out the repairs in the week and we will update the notice on Friday 11th September, with the progression of the works
