Please be advised these works have been brought forward a day

Our local team will be onsite at Lock 7, Tarvin Lock on the Shropshire Union Canal to carry out essential repairs to the paddle. 

The top offside paddle is inoperable and has been closed off while awaiting further investigation. Stop planks will be installed to dewater the lock to enable repairs to be carried out to the paddle and its surrounds.
