Does anyone know when Cromwell Lock will reopen.

Stoppage notice says they hope to have it open on / by 31st May

[Naughty Cal]

I hope so. Although at the current rate of progress that seems a bit optimistic!

[Angela C]

Thank you

We are heading up there for the festival.

 

Should be there early evening on 14th June to grab a mooring opposite the castle.

Cromwell Lock

 

Thursday 16 May 2013 - Friday 31 May 2013

UPDATE (22 May 2013): Following on from our stoppage notice of the 16th May, we are now able to advise that, following the completion of some of the dredging works required and an inspection this afternoon, passage through Cromwell Lock will be possible from Saturday 25th May to Monday 27th May. The lock will be manned from 06.00h - 21.00h on each of these three days.

 

Until then and from Tuesday 28th May, the original stoppage notice closing the navigation until the 31st May will remain in force to allow us to complete the works.

[Keeping Up]

Typical. They wait till we're too far away, at the end of the Caldon killing time until the scheduled reopening at the end of the month, and then announce an opening beforehand.

 

We'll just have to wait until the end of the month now and hope they still reopen then.

Great news. I have 14/15/16th June as rest days so free to party on 14 or 15th evening!

[AidanLincs]

14th works best for me. I'll post something in the Pub.

I 'signed up' to the then BWB stoppages email list quite sometime ago.. Go to the canalandrivertrust website. You can select the waterway(s) you are interested in and get all the updates daily. In fact mine come through throughout the day, but then selected quite a few. Anyone with internet access aboard will find it invaluable especially as some of them are rather short notice. The updates on progress at Cromwell have been reasonably good.
