Woodnook Lock will be closed to navigation on the 17th August 2026 (tomorrow), and potentially 18th August 2026, whilst a team of diving contractors caries out repairs to a paddle. Please bear with us while this essential work is completed. If the repairs are finished sooner than expected, the closure notice will be removed and navigation reopened as soon as possible.
