Lock 52, Heathy Close Lock
Update on 30/05/2023:
Further to the notice below, we are pleased to confirm that the navigation is now open.
However, Lock 52 Heathy Lock remains navigable for narrow beam vessels only.
We have cleared the blockage of the gate towpath side, but the offside bottom gate remains blocked and inoperable.
Please ensure this lock is left empty. We will update this notice by Thursday 1st June.
Update on 29/05/2023:
Further to the previous notice, please be advised that unfortunately the operations team were unable to carry out a repair to Lock 52 (Heathy Lock). Further investigation is required by the engineering team who will be in attendance on Tuesday 30th May. This will also result in the flight of locks from Lock 51 (Wootton Rivers Lock) through to Lock 60 (Crofton Lock) being closed until a suitable repair is carried out.
NAVIGATION CLOSURE (6.45pm Sunday 28 May 2023 until further notice)
Please be advised that due to an obstruction in the bottom gates of Lock 52 (Heathy close), the lock is currently closed to navigation. Our operational staff will be on site on the morning of Monday 29th May to assess and plan the removal of the obstruction. An update will follow when the team are aware of an opening time.
