A team of divers will be on site on Wednesday 17th September to carry out an inspection and assess the scope of repairs required to the damaged sluice.
Assisted passage will be available on Friday 12th , Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th between the hours of 10:00 and 15:00.
A further update will be issued by Thursday 18th September once the inspection findings have been reviewed.
