Description

We would like to advise customers that Naburn Lock is closed to navigation with immediate effect. A fault has been identified at the bottom gates which is preventing the lock from making a level. Our local team attended and attempted to clear the obstruction, but this has not resolved the issue. Our team will be on site on Monday 16 November to investigate further. Until then the lock will remain closed and passage between the tidal and non-tidal River Ouse will not be possible. Customers planning a tidal passage to Naburn are advised not to set off. In line with our Better Boating commitment, we will continue to keep customers informed and will update this notice on the evening of Monday 16 November. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience and understanding.
