We are currently experiencing a mechanical failure on the No 3 (Centre) arch of Richmond Lock & Weir. The weir will remain in the lowered position and closed to navigation at all times until repaired.

From Monday, the Thames will seem a very different place as the Richmond weirs are lifted for the annual draw-off, which allows the lock and sluices to be inspected and repaired hubs.la/H0zlXMp0

As we head into another heatwave, our advice to anybody taking to the #RiverThames on impulse, particularly less able swimmers and the inexperienced, is clear: Stay out of the water. It could cost you your life hubs.ly/H0tghww0 #WaterSafety #SaferThames
