We've now assessed the damage, and it's not something we've been able to quickly fix. Our reactive response team are doing everything they can to repair the lock.

We are hoping navigation here will be open again by the end of next week, and will provide an update on the works and an expected reopening date by Wednesday 11th January.

Description

Part of the bottom end gate has broken off meaning the lock is inoperable. the lock will be closed until at least Tuesday 3rd January.
