We are pleased to announce that we have now got everything in place to be able to offer assisted passage through City Road Lock for single narrow craft only. The days/times are as follows: Thursday 1st May 2025 1030 1400 Friday 2nd May 2025 1030 1400 Saturday 3rd May 2025 1030 1400 Monday 5th May 2025 1030 1400 Its important to note that boaters will need to turn off engines, disembark and handover the craft to the Trust to manually pull through the lock. If you are waiting to go through the lock please be patient with our colleagues and volunteers undertaking the operation. Please be advised that if the stability of the damaged gate is affected at any time then assisted passage will immediately be stopped. We have contractors fabricating metalwork for a patchwork repair and will be on site on Tuesday 6th May 2025 when the lock will be closed for the day. We are hoping that subject to an engineering assessment on Tuesday following this repair that we can re-open the lock to be used by all craft. If any of the above changes then we will update the notice further.
