Description

The navigation and towpath will be closed from Yard Lock to Star Lock between 6th and 17th December.

Due to a combination of works within a short area we are combining repair works at Yard Lock and Star Lock to coincide together to minimise impact on customers. Works will be undertaken at Yard Lock to resolve a severe leak, which includes replacement of offside top end quoin and replacing top end gate seals. In addition, we will be bracing the towpath side bottom mire gate on Star Lock with steel plates.
