SALTERSFORD LARGE LOCK on the Weaver is currently unable to be operated safely.

Satersford2So is closed to navigation, Keith Gudgin reports.

The lock failed yesterday, Wednesday, the 13th, with the trust telling there is a problem with a paddle, and the team could not operate it.

Under water

As this is somewhat difficult to get to, being under water, the repair has to wait until divers are available to fix it.

The trust tell it needs the help of specialist divers to fix the issue, and is already working hard to arrange for them to attend as soon as possible.
