Please be aware, for safety reasons, it has been necessary to close the towpath between Bridge 59 and the access gate opposite the winding hole (approximately 300m north of Bridge 59), for the duration of these works.

We are taking the opportunity, whilst the navigation is closed for the gate and cill replacement at Lock 43, to undertake repairs to the waterway wall at the Featherbed Lane visitor moorings. We had to defer these works last October due to budgetary issues. However, we are pleased to confirm that funds have now been made available from other projects and have been assigned for our contractors to carry out the Featherbed Lane wall repairs as a matter of urgency.
The navigation is closed from Lock 51 to approximately 150m north of Bridge 59. The stoppage will be in place until 15th March, as originally planned. Completion of the works at Featherbed Lane will continue beyond this date but under local restrictions only. Further updates will be issued regarding these restrictions.

As a result of the earlier finish date of the stoppage at Locks 25 and 26, additional resources are now available to work on the stoppage at Lock 43. This will enable us to complete the works here in a shorter period. Please note the new start date for this stoppage.
