Project manager confident good progress can be made this year
The Project Manager for the Queen's Pier Restoration Trust says work to date has cost in the region of £1million.
Dennis Curphey heads a dedicated team of volunteers and is confident that good progress can be made in the year ahead.
Work is currently centred around Bays 9 and 10, but thanks to an £80,000 donation before Christmas, funding is already in place for Bay 11.
Simon Richardson met Dennis at the pier and put it to him that it must be satisfying to prove wrong the 'nay-sayers' who - at the start of the project - said it could never be done:
TT racer Maria Costello facing 'lifelong impact' from injuries suffered in sidecar crash
Reminder to pleasure craft owners after Peel RNLI assist RIB in difficulty
Police stop rider going the wrong way over the mountain
MT 'actively monitoring' performance of network over TT
