Repair work
Lock 37, Bank Newton 5th Lock
Update on 31/10/2023:
These works have been extended to the close of the day of the 03/11/23, due to the delays of higher number of boats passing through the locks during the working day than expected.
RESTRICTION (8am Monday 9 October until 4pm Tuesday 24 October 2023)
There is currently an ongoing leak at Lock 37 at Bank Newton on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. As part of our Leeds & Liverpool Leak Reduction scheme, we will be undertaking Grouting repairs to the leaking Lock.
The leak through the chamber wall exists at both the offside and towpath side downstream approach walls. Our contractor will be installing grout behind the chamber wall of the lock.
Boaters will still be able to pass through the Lock however they should expect a short wait time as we will have a team working on side of the Lock trying to stop the leak.
