We are investigating the issue but repairs may not be possible until early next week.
We will update this notice when we've been advised further by our team.

Both locks at Hampstead Rd Lock 1A and 1B are closed due to boat impact damage to top gate at Lock 1A which has rendered both locks inoperable.
Specialist team on site tomorrow to determine repair approach. We anticipate the closure will remain in place over the weekend due to the complexity of the repair required. We expect navigation to be open towards the start of next week and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
