On Tuesday 5th August we will be undertaking a temporary repair to the damaged anchor block that holds the top offside gate.  The work will make the gate fully operational and will reopen the navigation to wide beam boats.    In the longer term a permanent repair, replacing the sandstone coping, will be planned in but this temporary fix will allow the gate to be used until this happens.    There is currently a navigation restriction in place for wide beam boats and more information can be found here: [Lock 18, Stoke Bruerne | Canal & River Trust](https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/01980d92-4cac-72a4-949f-fb7923d47ae7 "https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/01980d92-4cac-72a4-949f-fb7923d47ae7") Please also note that there is a local restriction on Lock opening times at Stoke Bruerne to help conserve water. Details of this restriction can be found here: Stoke Bruerne Locks 14 to 20 | Canal & River Trust
