A PROBLEM with a culvert downstream of Holme Lock at Gargrave, has closed the Leeds & Liverpool Canal
So a fish rescue is taking place on 4 July, with CCTV of the adjacent culvert taking place the following day to confirm any damage to the main culvert structure and 'fully inform a repair methodology', Canal & River Trust advises.
Work is expected to start this week.
Discretionay basis
With water levels downstream improving, its 'team of lock keepers' will be enabling passage through Bingley 3 and Five Rise Locks, Forge Locks and Newlay Locks on a discretionary basis depending on how much water is available.
It therefore is not understood by what it states—'team was alerted to reducing water levels in the Leeds & Liverpool Skipton pound on the evening of 29th July'.
