You can see more about this, here: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/20308-lock-60-longcroft-towpath-side-lock-trent-and-mersey-canal Notice will be provided when we have a rescheduled date for these works.

Description

Please be advised that our local team will be onsite at Lock 60 off side on the Trent and Mersey Canal to carry out essential repairs on the bottom gates.

Our local team will be refurbishing the bottom gates of the offside lock to stop severe leakage.

The inside lock will be navigable but is the narrower of the two locks and wider traditional boats may not be able to pass through as the lock tapers.

We politely ask customers to approach the area with caution and listen to any advice that may be given by the team.
