8/23/2024

A safe method of working has now been agreed with a plan in place to lift the displaced top gate back into position at Lock 4, Stanstead Lock.

To carry out the repair work, a third-party crane boat needs to be lifted into the water, upstream of the displaced lock. Our contractors have been working hard with third party landowners to find a suitable location to deploy the floating plant needed to safely deliver the repair.

We will share further updates on this notice when they become available.
