The upstream sluice has been repaired and is now operational.

Description

The upstream sluice indicator has been damaged, which has prevented the Lock from operating on self - operation.

Due to the nature of the incident be aware of low water levels from Kings Road Lock to Woodnook Lock and in Fairies Hill Cut, until the levels recover.
