The paddles at lock 20 have failed -the offside head paddle is jammed and there is a problem with the rack on the towpath side paddle. Unfortunately this means the lock is inoperable. Our team will investigate the cause of the issues tomorrow and try to fix the faults. An update will be given by close of business on Tuesday 2nd June.
