The works that were planned for the head paddles at Lock 20, unfortunately were unable to take place today. The lock will revert back to operating on one head paddle. We hope to be able to carry out the repairs to the faulty head paddle as soon as possible, potentially close to the end of July. The repairs will be very quick and will not cause too much inconvenience when carried out.
