Please be advised that navigation will be closed at Lock 24 (Weston Lock) tomorrow, from approximately 9:00am until 1:00pm. The top gate is suffering from severe leakage and requires urgent repairs. Our reactive team will be installing stop planks to enable repairs to be carried out to both the gate and the cill. We will provide a further update as soon as more information becomes available.
