Navigation at Knowle Bottom Lock (Lock 47) will be closed tomorrow between 9:00am and 4:00pm to allow essential repair works to take place. Cill repairs were completed yesterday and a paddle has been replaced; however, further issues have been identified with the gate, which is continuing to leak. Additional repairs are therefore required to address this. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience while this essential work is carried out.
