Friday 28 August Canal obstruction / lock gates shut
Good evening
It has been reported to me that a vehicle entered the Canal outside the Canal Office in the early hours last night
We haven’t been able to confirm this report as the submerged vehicle hasn’t been located yet
I have instructed a dive team from TMS to search for the vehicle tomorrow from 08:00 hrs with a view to arranging recovery from under the water
To ensure everyone’s safety (including the dive team) we will be closing the narrow section of the Canal outside the Canal Office during this operation.
We will marshall water users through this section at other times during the day until the operation is completed.
Please pass on this communication to your members / customers and advise them of alternative access / egress locations
Best Regards

Also we have been advised that the lock gates have been shut and will not be opened until Tuesday.
