The repairs to the paddle have taken place and it is operational.

A navigation closure is in place at Lock 23. The water levels area extremely low as a paddle has broken making it unnavigable for crafts. The local team will be attending to it tomorrow and are hoping it can be fixed in the day. We will update the notice when the repairs have taken place.
