We apologise for the need to add a navigation closure to carry out grouting works on the Lock. Grouting is a repair method where special cement is injected into cracks or gaps in the lock's structure. This helps stop leaks, strengthens the lock, and keeps it working well for years to come. During this period, towpath access will be restricted. Please note: We will open up navigation over the weekend within this stoppage window to help reduce the disruption.
