Original 3 October 2025, 4:43pm – With a shorter window for the lock gate works at Bosley Lock 7 to allow a window for boat passage – we will undertake improvements to the weir at Lock 7 from 6 October to 17 October while there are other closures in place. We were awaiting listed building consent but now have the permissions we need. Apologies for the short notice but this is the best way that we can both get the works done where needed and create the opportunities for passage ahead of the winter.
