STOKE LOCK ON THE TRENT is now open for navigation at Stoke Lock on the River.

It is now fully  operational, Keith Gudgin reports.

We are told a temporary repair has now been completed at Stoke Lock, and the lock is fully operational again. 

It was closed due to a faulty sluice sensor, that has been replaced.

The pound between Little Bedwyn Lock 67 and Oakhill Down Lock 68 have recovered from low water to allow navigation once more.

The trust is aware there are low water levels in other locations nearby and have managed the balance so it expects the conditions to improve today.

Boaters are asked to follow all local instructions and that all paddles are fully lowered and correctly seated after use to avoid further closures.
