To enable us to carry out essential repairs to Sykehouse Lock on the New Junction Canal via a stoppage in the winter we need to carry out a sonar and laser survey of the stop plank grooves before. This is to ensure we have the correct underwater dimensions for the planks, check for damage to the grooves or cill and to check for debris and silt. This is to ensure that the stoppage is planned and carried out safely and efficiently. Customers are asked to proceed with caution and take instruction from Trust staff and our contractors and obey any notices and signs. Customers may have to wait a short period while our contractors come to a suitable point that they can stop to let people through to ensure the survey is carried out safely and efficiently.
