Should we discuss the fact its a total cost cutting operation though or not
Just hearsay from the council. Loads of fishermen were slating them saying theyre a dosgrace and supposedly they came back

Cost cutting or longer term planning? If they are to be ruptured 3/4 times a year what would you want them to be?

Could do with a bin on the pier like, saves the councillor picking the rubbish off the beach and wondering where it's from. Just one will do.
Listen to gala mate.
The top angler in the north east told me. He also said he caught a fish thiiiiiiiiis big.

You soft tart.
I’ve been on this planet 47 yrs and have not known damage in there like the last few years. Couple this with the old pier, are we just seeing things reaching the end of its life?
Give a decent set of railings a good foundation and they might last another 100 yrs

Haha really, I’m sure a few on here that know what I do would disagree with you.
Mind you I’m partial to a Bakewell
The railings were only erected in 1972/3, some on here think they can last forever tho, much like their windows and gas boilers and fridges and hoovers and cars and beds and chairs and carpets...........

Have the council given any indication of when repairs will be carried out?

Cost cutting. The others lasted a hundred years, these ;lasted 4 month
Last 45 yrs and then 45 days ( exaggeration I know )
The railings when I was a lad had been there longer than a few years

The gadgey that is doing the pier tours says they were put in 1972, no reason to say his info is wrong
There was several different ones. There was round ones and there was ornate ones. The ornat ones stopped at the old gate half way iirc.

The photo was brought about fencing question were some blokes fishing in 1970 next to the main lighthouse with no barriers, I’m sure a few will have fell in on a regular basis.
Bearing in mind I know how many times we get called to the pier (when it’s open) for a variety of reasons.
Have the holding stones ever been ripped off previously during storms? You seem to have all the answers. I know the correct answer just wanting to know if you know as much as you think you do.
Work vans on the pier yesterday so either assessing or starting work in it

I blame mobile phones for that. I’ve fished on there when someone got washed off. A couple of bigger lad got the life belt and dragged him to the steps, he got out , got what gear he had left and went home. Late 70s/ early 80s I reckon.
