Locks - Investment Programme - Closed or Open?

[Jacquie II]

Looking to go out next week, so does anyone know the current status of the works on the locks at Marlow, Cookham, Boulters and Romney please, i.e. are they closed or open?

I have asked the EA for an update and will let you know when I receive a reply.

I am advised that a full update to the winter works programme - Version 4 - will be issued in the next few days.
Marlow was planned to re-open on 20th February but will not now re-open until one week later.
Romsey which was also slated to resume service on 20th February will now be two weeks later.

Lovely, thank you.

Boulters looked shut when I drove past twice today.

Boulters is shut.

Work at Boulters was supposed to have been completed by 30th January.

 

[Jacquie II]

This was really the basis of my original question - when I drove past Cookham a week ago it was still shut (and that was supposed to be completed by 19th Dec). Hopefully the update from the EA due in the next few days will shed some light.

Was that updated because of your prompting or happening anyway?

Well, it was updated promptly after I prompted - so draw your own conclusions !
