THE Severn is to be closed at Upper Lode Lock we are told, to repair balance beams.
The first stoppage notice tells the stoppage is from 18th September until the 17th November, Keith Gudgin reports.
But the second stoppage notice tells the lock will be closed for four months from yesterday, 11th July until the 17th November. Though later in the notice it tells it starts on the 16th October.
Third notice
And yet a third stoppage telling the lock will be closed for four months from yesterday 11th July until the 17th November.
Then later in that notice it informs us the stoppage starts on the 16th October until the 17th November.
A mess indeed.
