Further to the notice below, we are sorry to advise that the Environment Agency has been unable to complete its works to the stop gates at Firepool Lock as planned.
The canal is open, but a restriction is now necessary and customers could experience delays of up to 3.5 hours whilst works continue.
If affected, please moor safely outside of the working area and seek advice from contractors who will be able to advise timescales and allow passage as soon as it is safe to do so.

Please be advised that replacement of Environment Agency lock gates is due to take place over a two day period at Firepool lock.
For the two day period the lock and canal towpath will be closed.
There will be a signed towpath diversion in place to allow pedestrians around the work area.
Divers will be operating in this area and a crane will be carrying out lifting operations, so we kindly ask the public to approach with caution.
