THORNES LOCK ON THE Calder & Hebble Navigation was closed by a failed paddle.
With 'the team' attending the site, Keith Gudgin reports.
It was then decided the paddle be swapped to solve the problem.
This too failed
However this too failed to rectify the problem with the replacement paddle failing to create a seal making it unsafe to operate, the lock still being closed.
It is not told what further attempt will be made to solve the problem, only that the lock is still closed for navigation.
