The repair to Pillings lock requires divers to attend site.

The team are hoping they will be able to attend site next week.

Unfortunately, until then the lock remains closed.

Once we know more, we will update the website accordingly

Description

Unfortunately, due to vandalism that has left one of the lock gates missing boards leaving a large hole, we have had to close Pillings lock on the River Soar.

We are currently making arrangements with our engineers for an emergency repair.

As soon as we know when this will take place, we will update the website accordingly.
