Kingsferry Bridge kaput

A friend was assisting to move a boat from Conyer to the Medway in the last week or two and was refused a bridge lift and was told the bridge is only lifting once a day. It was mentioned at our club's AGM on Friday. I forgot to follow up afterwards to get any more details. It is obviously essential that anyone planning to pass through the bridge contacts the bridge or Medway VTS before setting off.
 
Can anyone confirm that the bridge is now doing lifts for leisure boats without us having to coincide with a commercial transit?
