The lock is now reopen for navigation, after our Reactive Response team reset the gate into its cup. While they were there, they've managed to change the paddle brackets and clear a long-standing blockage in the paddle hole on the towpath side, so we hope you'll notice the improvements when you next pass through.

Thank you for your patience whilst we got the lock fixed and back open.

Description

A lock gate has come out of its cup at Lock 2, at the top of the Lapworth flight, and for the moment navigation is not possible. Our Reactive Response team are mobilising to set this right as soon as possible, and as long as they don't find any other problems, we're expecting the lock to be back open by the end of hte day.

An update will be provided by 4pm at the latest.
