MHS Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 They are closing a huge number of different waterways in early November. I’m sure far more than usual. If you’re CC’ing, check it carefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Todd Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Came through Dashwood Lock on southern Oxford today which has a very temporary repair to the bottom gate balance beam which fractured in June. I notice it is not on the winter programme so let'; hope that it will be fixed even earlier as yhe repair cannot last for long, surely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Cal Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Closing Newark Town Lock for nigh on 3 months to replace top and bottom gates. No mention of any works to Gunthorpe Lock which is hardly working or the hydraulics at Nether Lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June 2020, crt had done a temporary fix with a piece of “Armco”. We arrived to find a boat stuck in it trying to open the bottom gate. Finally helped them out and managed to get up the lock.

Dave123 Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 They are closing Shipton lift bridge outside Thrupp for 3 months! That seems excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 I've just seen a couple of my very provisional 'plans' altered by Oxford closures. I see that one is HS2 related work. Having seen the massive impact the work to date is having one wondered how many lengthy closures there will be in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
