We have been informed that there is a sunken boat at the lock river landing. On investigation by operatives, the sunken boat seems to be 3/4 jammed under the lock landing and cannot be removed by hand. Operatives will require the Hiab in order to recover this boat.

Boaters are advised to please be aware and cautious in approach to the lock landing as the sunken boat is not visible.
