Unfortunately, our programme has been affected due to some of our construction team having to self-isolate. As a result, we will not be able to complete all the pre-Christmas preparation for the stoppage at Lock 15, including moving plant and equipment to site.

We therefore need to delay the navigation closure by one week. This will now start on 18th January 2021 and re-open on 12th February 2021.

Description

A stoppage is required to enable the replacement of the top gate.

01/06/2020: The information above is a draft notice of works planned as part of our winter 2020/21 stoppages programme. This is subject to change depending on the latest advice from the UK government on coronavirus. Please follow our guidance relating to coronavirus when using the canals and towpaths https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/coronavirus.
