Reason: Structure failure


Original message:

 Details: as a consequence of a boat damaging and displacing the cill buffer on lock four of the Audlem flight the lock is no out of safe operational use until further notice. We need to bring lifting equipment onto the site to attempt to lift the cill buffer back into its original position or remove it from the lock chamber altogether. A variety of engineering assessments and processes need to be put in place to enable the local team to complete this task safely. The lock flight at Audlem will therefore remain closed until all the works can be completed safely. We have local staff on site to assist with additional information and or assistance if it is required.
