ADVICE (10am Wednesday 22 June 2022 until further notice)

Please be advised, our local team have been on site at lock 12, Beeston Stone Lock on the Shropshire Union Canal.

The towside paddle has developed an  intermittent fault and closure of the paddle is necessary to prevent further damage. 

Whilst navigation will remain open, we politely request all customers to approach the area with caution and be prepared to wait if necessary.
