Current Projects

What's new?

  • The pub, the Foxton Locks Inn re-opened in May 2005, having been fully refurbished and extended.
  • New short stay car parks and access road have been built to the Bottom Locks.
  • The Top Lock Cottage has been restored and will reopen in Summer 2005 as a refreshment and information centre.
  • A public lavatory and boaters' facilities building is planned for late Summer 2005 in the Bottom Lock Car park.
  • Trees are being removed from the Inclined Plane, to stop their roots from damaging the historic structure. For the first time in almost a century, visitors to the site can now see right down the Plane, allowing them to picture how it must have looked in its heyday.
  • The privately-operated boatyard has relocated from beside the pub. Planning permission was granted for a new workshop in 2002, the date for its completion is being decided.
  • Over 2,500 trees were planted in November 2004 as part of National Tree Week
