Description

Original 1 October 2026, 2:52pm

The power pack for the downstream lock on the lock cabin side is broken, so it is only navigable to narrowboats as only one gate is operational. The power pack will be repaired tomorrow, so it is on a short term issue that will be resolved the following day. We will update the notice when the power pack has been repaired.
