Please be aware that Oxclose Lock is currently not available for passage. The lock itself is currently blocked with reeds and there has been a pollution incident in the area, due to a diesel leak from an unknown source. Operatives are currently on site and will be fitting a boom around the affected area, to prevent further spread. The lock will remain closed until the area has been cleared and the pollutant has been absorbed or dispersed.
