Following on from our inspection, plant and equipment is now being mobilized in order to begin repairs on Wednesday the 9th of June.

Once the Lock has been emptied our teams will be able to fully assess the scale of the damage and advise how long it will take to complete repairs. Until this time, the Lock will remain closed so as not to cause navigational issues further up the pound from water loss.

Further updates will follow on Wednesday the 9th of June.
