Our engineering team carried out an initial inspection this morning and located a number of holes behind the lock walls with running water.
In order to determine the precise nature of the problem they need to carry out more investigations and so on Monday 22nd October, plant will be brought in to excavate behind the walls to give a better understanding of the problems faced.
Until this further investigation is complete and the nature of the problem is fully understood, we feel the safest option is to keep the lock closed. We will update the notice on Monday afternoon.
