We would like to advise our customers that this stoppage has been removed from our winter works programme. The stoppage was in place to carry out repairs to the bottom gate as it had twisted. Emergency works needed to be carried out as the gate had gone past the mitre point. A repair has now taken place and the twisting of the gate has been rectified so no further work is required.
