Description

Please be advised that navigation at Lock 3 Sidbury on the Worcester & Birmingham Canal will be restricted on Tuesday 6th May to allow for essential repairs. The closure will be in effect from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM to minimise disruption to boaters.

The closure is necessary following damage to the paddle stand caused by a recent boat collision. Our local team will be undertaking the repair works, and they will be on-site to provide updates as the works progress. Additionally, if time permits, we will also replace the paddle seals.
