Marina News : (updated 04/02/12 1:58PM )

-11 degrees recorded last night in the marina. Marina and river frozen over. The sluice gates have not closed because of the ice and we have lost 15ins. of water but the problem has been dealt with and we expect levels to be back up by Sunday.

Vehicle and pedestrian access to the lock is now closed until the end of February. This is because of health and safety site restrictions around the lock area.

Boat owners can park in the first car park on the lock road or in our main car park.
All boats moored beyond the centre jetty have been moved onto stages on the centre spit of land and have been plugged into electricity if applicable.
