UPDATE (02 February 2010): Following the extreme weather over December and early January the works on Wilmcote Locks have now been delayed. The cold weather has meant we have lost a number of days and the extreme temperature is delaying the setting on the mortar. We are accelerating the works and we are doing everything we can to finish before the revised stoppage date.
