RESTRICTION (6.30-10.30am Friday 18 August 2023)

We’re having to restrict navigation at Meaford Road Lock 33 on the Trent & Mersey Canal.

Navigation will be closed from 6:30AM to 10:30AM only. This is to investigate and repair the paddle frame.

Unfortunately the paddle frame was damaged yesterday making the lock inoperable. The Operations Team managed to complete a temporary repair, but a 4 hour stoppage is required to complete a full investigation.

Thank you for your patience as we carry out this investigation.
