Unfortunately, due to pressures on our stoppage programme resulting from unavoidable delays and the requirements of more urgent arising works, we will be deferring the repairs at Locks 1 and 2, River Stort, until later in the year. We will issue further information once revised dates and details have been finalised. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused by this change of plan.

Description

Repairs are required to reduce leakage on the bottom gates of both Lock 1 and Lock 2.
