Description

The navigation will be closed but towpath will remain open.

Repair works are required to the spillway at Lock 20, Botterham Bottom Lock. The locks cannot be in use as the spillway needs to remain dry for works to be carried out effectively. Without the repair works being completed, it has the potential to lead to subsidence, collapse and localised flooding.
