Contractors are planning to attend Diglis Lock 1 on Saturday 28 November, between 8.00am and 4.00pm, to carry out works to clear a blockage within the towpath-side paddle chamber.

The works are dependent on suitable River Severn levels. We expect to confirm whether the works can proceed by Wednesday or Thursday ahead of the planned closure.

Thank you for your patience while these essential works are carried out.
