We have a restriction at Doefield Dun Lock on the Thursday 8th October while we carry out repairs to the broken downstream gate paddle. May skippers of all crafts, please slow down and approach the area with caution. Delays of up to 30 minutes may be experienced whilst workboats and equipment may need to be moved out of the way to make the area safe for passage.
