Navigation is currently closed between Lock 9 & Lock 18 on the Ashton Canal due to a damaged paddle at Lock 13 which is preventing the lock from filling.  Our team has attended the site to inspect the paddle and are currently planning a method of repair.   A further update will be provided on or before Wednesday, 8 July.
