We'd like to clarify the nature of the upcoming works at Pywells Lock.  The project has always been intended for gate repairs rather than a full gate replacement. The schedule remains unchanged, as other essential works are also planned during this 8-week stoppage. These repairs are crucial to maintaining the lock's safe operation until the full replacement, which is scheduled for 2035.
