We are aware that the ground paddle at Woodend Lock has been damaged and is currently inoperable, with damage to the paddle grooves and frame. In the meantime, the lock is operating using the gate paddle only. We plan to carry out repairs on 8 July between 06:00 and 12:30. Navigation will be closed during this time. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience while we resolve this issue.
