We have reviewed the works programme for Barge Bottom Lock and expect the work to take a shorter time period than previously scheduled, increasing accessibility for boaters to Stourport basin during January. The stoppage will now run from 2 February to 13 March, ending at the same time as the nearby stoppage at York Street Lock.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
