THE Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation, that suffered a lock failure, will not be re-opened until next week.
A gate on Doncaster Lock failed last weekend closing the waterway (Another lock failure) until repairs can be effected, Keith Gudgin told us.
Crane available
Canal & River Trust tell us that it will be next Monday when a crane will be available on site to enable repairs to be undertaken to the damaged gate.
We are told that the collar on one of the top gates had snapped leaving it away from its normal operating position, and though the collar has been repaired a crane was required to lift the gate back into position, but before this the crane contractor has to carry out the necessary pre lift site survey,
