Update on 14/08/2020:

 

The Crane boat arrived on site on Thursday and our maintenance team have been working hard to clear out all the stone and debris from the lock, and cut off the twisted escape ladder. 

Our Structural Engineer has been on site and carried out a further assessment.  Based on this assessment, we estimate the repair works to take approximately two weeks.

As we receive more information and progress reports with regards this stoppage, we will update our website accordingly.

  

 

Update on 11/08/2020:

 

We have been advised that the repair works at Meadow Lane, will need to be carried out by one of our Crane Boats. 

This is currently on route to site and should be at the location by Thursday Evening, ready for works to commence on Friday morning. 

Our maintenance team will firstly need to clear out all the stone and debris from the lock, and cut off the twisted escape ladder.   

There are many large stone blocks below water.  They will then be able to carry out a full assessment with our structural engineer on site. 

Once this assessment is completed, we will know the full extent of the damage caused and be able to plan what repair works are needed and estimate a possible date of completion. 

We will then update our website on Friday, with our plan of action. 

We apologise that we can’t be more precise at this time, and appreciate our customers continued patience.

 

 

Original message:

 

Due to vandals causing damage to the lock wall and
ladders, Meadow Lane Lock has had to be temporarily closed off. 

Our structural Engineer will be attending site today to assess the damage and the works needed to reopen the lock as quickly as possible. 

Once this assessment has been completed, we will be able to update our website with a time scale of when the repair works will be completed. 

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate our customers patience at this time.

Just have to decide now whether to go up that way ,  burning fuel against the flow on the way up but hardy anything for the return . Or perhaps  down the other way , probably go anytime due to plenty of fresh on .

But in any case going nowhere until Sunday due to the ongoing foul weather forecast.
