Unfortunately, we were unable to complete the emergency repairs to the gate seals at Lock 4 on the Marple Flight today, and our local team will need to re-attend the site tomorrow. As a result, the lock flight between Locks 1 and 16 will remain closed while the works are carried out. We will provide a further update on Friday 30 January.
