Sandford Lock.
Details
A telegraph pole has fallen into the River Thames at Sandford Lock.
We are in contact with BT who will work to remove the pole. The lock will remain closed to all river traffic until we are satisfied that the area is safe.
The access footpath is also closed due to a fallen tree across the bridge from Sandford Village.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience during this time.
