Essential paddle works are required at Lock 46, and to complete this safely and effectively, a full navigation closure will be in place for the duration of the works. This stoppage is necessary to ensure the continued reliability and safe operation of the lock. We recognise the impact that closures have on boaters and we thank you for your understanding and patience while this essential work is carried out.
