Navigation is currently closed at Lock 56, Slattocks, on the Rochdale Canal due to a fault with the mechanism that operates the paddle, preventing it from being opened.
Our local team has attended site to inspect the issue and is now planning a method of repair to restore operation of the lock as quickly as possible.
We will provide a further update on or before Friday 11 September.
