But the team begin to face additional challenges
After a successful 2023 the team of volunteers carrying out the restoration of Ramsey's Queen's Pier is hoping to make further, significant progress on the scheme this year.

One of the challenges as they move further along the pier is working with the tides, but with the help of local businesses they are finding solutions:
