Description

We are sorry to advise that passage through Greenham Lock is currently restricted, due to failure of the top gate on the towpath side. A repair is already programmed to begin on 22nd June and expected to be completed on 25th.

In the meantime, wide beam vessels will unfortunately be unable to use the lock, but Trust staff will be available to assist narrowboats through in two sessions each day (including at weekends), at 10:00 and 16:00. The structure will be locked and unavailable for passage when staff are not present, at other times.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this breakage. Please contact us on 03030404040 or at [email protected] if you would like to speak with our Customer Support Team about this notice.
