Curdworth Lock 5, Birmingham & Fazeley Canal

We're having to carry out urgent repairs at Curdworth Lock 5, to repair the offside ground paddle.

There is an issue with the paddle coming off the rod, which is causing the lock to be very slow draining, meaning boats are having to queue for a considerable amount of time. An urgent repair is therefore required, as we would have to close navigation if anything happens to the towpath side paddle. A two-day stoppage will take place on Monday 27th November & Tuesday 28th November.

Thank you for your patience while we carry out this vital repair.
