Description

Original 31 October 2026, 11:21am

A top end paddle has failed on Rushall Lock 2 and is no longer holding water. The pound between Locks 1 and 2 is empty and the lock flight is out of use until this can be fixed and the section refilled. This repair will be organised w/c 02.11.2026 but a repair date is currently unknown. This notice will be updated in due course with further information.
