Headgate Failed Ram.
Directions for navigation and general information during these works:
A ram on the head gate has broken. This means the lock gate cannot be operated until it is repaired and Temple lock is currently impassable.
The Environment Agency is working hard to make this complex repair whilst ensuring the work is carried out safely. The lock will be reopened as soon as possible. They apologise for any inconvenience these emergency works cause and thank you for your patience during this time.
