We are sorry to announce the addition of these works to our winter works programme, which will allow us to carry out essential repairs to the gates and lock chamber at Lock 26. We are undertaking this now because the condition of the gates has continued to deteriorate, and without intervention navigation through the lock is likely to become increasingly difficult. This stoppage will be in place from 14 January to 28 January. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
