ranworthbreeze Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I have just been on the Oulton Broad webcam and there is workmen actually working on the lock, they are operating some welding equipement, plenty of hardhats and barriers On the grass cordoned off is one of the lock gates. Maybe soon the locks will be in use Regards Alan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Alan, Any idea if it just the one gate that needs repairing or both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hi Mark, My take on what I have seen on the Broads Authority website and the notifications that have been sent to us is that the problem is the metal sockets that are fixed into the lock floor and the metal pegs fitted onto the bottom of the gate. I am not sure if more than one gate is effected, but more than likely they will be all effected at least on that set of gates that will not seal. Being as they are now working on the problem we might see some more activity. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 I went on the Oulton Broad website yesterday and saw that the lock gate had been refitted into the lock but work was still being done.On the webcam this morning the gate is now closed.The lock is due to be reopened today.RegardsAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
