Lack of timber stops lock gate being repaired
Published: Friday, 25 October 2024
THERE is to be a further delay to the repair of Thurmaston Lock on the Leicester Section.
This is caused by a delay with the timber supply, Keith Gudgin reports.
Work starts in November
This means that the actual work to repair the hole that appeared in the bottom gate will not start until 5th November, with a promised opening of the lock on the 12th November.
The lock of course cannot be operated until these repairs have been completed, resulting in the lock having been closed to navigation for five weeks.
