Please be advised that Kilnhurst Lock remains closed. The initial issue with the sluice has been compounded by vandalism to the control pedestal, which has made the lock inoperable. Our engineers are aware of the situation and will be attending to assess the damage and carry out the necessary repairs. The lock will remain closed until it is safe and fully functional to reopen.

We apologise for the ongoing disruption and appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to resolve this matter. Canal & River Trust
