We have been advised that the repair works at Meadow Lane, will need to be carried out by one of our Crane Boats.
This is currently on route to site and should be at the location by Thursday Evening, ready for works to commence on Friday morning.
Our maintenance team will firstly need to clear out all the stone and debris from the lock, and cut off the twisted escape ladder.
There are many large stone blocks below water. They will then be able to carry out a full assessment with our structural engineer on site.
Once this assessment is completed, we will know the full extent of the damage caused and be able to plan what repair works are needed and estimate a possible date of completion.
We will then update our website on Friday, with our plan of action.
We apologise that we can’t be more precise at this time, and appreciate our customers continued patience.
