But project is still progressing well says trust
Volunteers carrying out the restoration of Ramsey's Queen's Pier continue to make good progress despite costs 'rocketing'.
However, the task of repairing the individual bays is becoming harder as the work moves further along the structure, requiring the heavy lifting work to be done from the beach when tides and conditions permit.
Another challenge is to maintain the flow of funds required to progress the work.
Graham Curphey is the treasurer of the Queen's Pier Restoration Trust:
