Initial inspections by our Engineers have now taken place and indicate a failure of the heel post resulting from rotten timber.

Further more detailed investigations are now required and will take place over the coming days.

In the meantime the Lock gate is not deemed safe enough to operate and will therefore be closed until investigations have been completed by our Engineering Team.

This notice will be updated once those detailed investigations have concluded.

A further update will be provided on Friday 2nd October.
