Unfortunately we've had to reschedule these works into the New Year as a result of working through design changes and needing to secure listed building consent for these changes. The works are now planned to take place between 25 January 2027 and 10 February 2027. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

A navigation closure is required for installation of the mechanical mechanism on the bottom gates to aid gate operation. The flight will be closed so water levels can be controlled and the works carried out safely.
