Shepperton voted besk kept lock on the Thames
- Published February 27th, 2012
River users were asked to rate the service at locks along the river in the Thames Waterways Awards and consider maintenance, information and gardening.
The awards covered the rural River Thames between Lechlade and Teddington.
The Environment Agency said Shepperton took top place, with special commendations for four others.
Pinkhill, Romney, Osney and Marsh were also praised by river users.
Shepperton lock-keeper Steve Newman said: "A big thank you to all my customers that voted for Shepperton Lock this year.
"It's a lot of hard work for myself and the team but it's always worth it just for the lovely remarks we receive."
He added: "The Thames has always had a good reputation for its lovely gardens and this competition can only enhance its reputation for being the best-manned waterway in the world. Long may it continue."

Police were called to the junction with Mere Road and High Street at around 1pm on Thursday (September 29) following reports of a collision between the woman and the white van.
Witnesses say the van collided with the woman, who is in her 80s, as she was crossing the road.
One worker, from Shepperton Golden Grill, said: "I saw a few people try to help her and the police were called.
"She was on the floor for about an hour while the ambulance were there."
The womanwas taken to St George’s Hospital in Tooting, south London with serious leg injuries.
The road was closed for just over three hours and was fully re-opened by the afternoon.
Speaking at the scene, a Surrey Police officer said: "There was an incident involving an elderly female pedestrian and a van. It was quite a serious injury to her leg, to what extent we don't know.

The council’s winter fleet has been extended to provide greater mobility and coverage. Adding to last year’s efforts, 50 farmers will support the Highways team, alongside Surrey’s 4x4 group and a further ten snow ploughs. These will help the council clear and maintain Surrey's main routes during winter.
Additionally, forty tonnes of grit is being given to district and borough councils to spread in town centres this year – more than double the amount provided last year.
The initiative will aim to tackle the rising number of doorstep traders who prey on vulnerable residents and carry out shoddy work, often at extortionate prices. Traders who ignore the door stickers and requests to leave could be breaking the law.
