British Waterways staff have investigated the extent of the damage and found that a new gate is required.
BW's workshop has been informed, timber has been ordered and a new gate will be manufactured as soon as possible
The canal is likely to remain closed for at least a week. This will affect boaters doing the Cheshire Ring and the South Pennine Ring.
For enquiries about this stoppage, contact British Waterways on 01942 405700. An update notice will be issued by BW on Friday 24th October.
