The Lancaster Port Commission has said it will keep residents of Glasson Dock in the loop when it comes to fixing the location's broken sea gate
The chief executive of the port organisation which runs Glasson Dock near Lancaster has said people will be kept updated with plans to manage sea flood risks and engineering works to tackle a broken sea gate.
In addition to the broken hydraulic sea gate, there is a leaking canal lock at the adjoining Glasson Marina, which links to the Lancaster Canal. The separate infrastructure problems are impacting the ability to control canal and dock water levels. To add to the challenge, different organisations run different parts of the dock and canal system and have different remits.
"The position of the [sea] dock gate does not effect the amount of water in the marina or canal. We’re keeping people updated and liaising with the various organisations." There are different types of ports in the UK - private or privatised ports, municipal ports and trusts ports. Trust ports usually do not have any shareholders or owners. Any surplus profit is typically put back into each port for the benefit of stakeholders. There are over 100 trust ports in the UK, according to government information.
"Growing our core shipping business allows us to invest in the Port of Lancaster assets, including heritage, infrastructure, equipment and people. This investment means we are uniquely placed to deliver a prosperous future for the port as well as for the people and businesses close by and in the wider community."
