Cropredy's leaky new gate

Cropredy Lock was closed before Christmas, for a new top gate to be fitted. The work was all done by the time we went through (twice) on Christmas Eve. I was a bit surprised by the amount of water coming through the gate. My guess is that they have to all some room for the wood to expand once it's been in the water a while. I'm sure someone will tell me whether I'm right or not.

No response yet from flickr. It's very frustrating that the only way of contacting them is by email; there's no phone number, or even address. Maybe there's a press office ...
