Naburn Lock is still closed due to the rising water levels. Once water levels do reduce, an electricial check will need to be carried out to ensure the electrics are safe for the lock to operate. Unfortunately, it may be next week that water levels improve and safety checks are able to be carried out. We will update the notice when we receive further information.
