Our local team have been to Lock 34 on the Rochdale Canal today to further investigate the works required to repair the broken paddle. Unfortunately, the works are more complex than anticipated and we have not been able to carry out a remedial repair. We are now looking in to alternative methods.

Bookings along the Summit Lock Flight on the Rochdale Canal remain suspended and our North West Customer Support team continue to speak with those affected.

A further update will be provided by Friday 11 November.
