=========================== Grindley Brook Locks 3 and 4 Update 28th July 2009 12.00 noon At 11.00am today navigation was restored through the Grindley Brook Lock Flight. PLEASE NOTE - Navigation through the lock flight will be via assisted passage only during the hours of 7am to 7pm, the lock flight will be closed to navigation after 7pm. On arrival at Grindley Brook Lock Flight please follow instructions of the lock keepers to ensure your smooth transit through the flight. Some delays may be experienced through the Grindley Brook Lock Flight during the next 3 to 4 weeks whilst the permanent repairs are undertaken, customers therefore may wish to consider planning an alterative route at this time. HURLESTON LOCK FLIGHT - All restrictions have now been removed from these locks. FRANKTON LOCK FLIGHT - The extended opening hours for Frankton Lock passage will remain in place until Friday 31st July 2009. We thank you for your patience and we apologise for any inconvenience caused during the emergency works _____________________________________________ Updated 27th July 2009 15.30 Our engineers and contractors are currently working on a temporary repair solution that will enable limited passage through the Grindley Brook Lock Flight. A full feed of water has now been re-established through the lock flight which will enable us to successfully manage levels below Grindley Brook. We are hopeful that a restricted system of navigation may be available through the locks in the next 48 hours and will issue another update notice tomorrow, 28th July with further details. In order to assist customers in the local area we have temporarily extended the opening times of Frankton Locks which will remain open for passage from 12pm until 6pm for the next 48 hrs. In order to book please make contact with our customer service teams before 10am in order to arrange passage. Winding can be found at Grindley Brook top lock and Wrenbury Lift Bridge. Please note Hurleston Lock flight will be closed overnight 27th July 2009 to conserve water supplies. 27th July 09 - 10.00am Due to a canal failure early on Monday 27th July, the canal pound between Grindley Brook Locks 3 and 4 is currently dewatered and the canal is closed to navigation. Movement through locks may be restricted between Hurleston Locks and Grindley Brook whilst water levels are restored. Further updates will be posted as soon as they are available.
