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.
The man leading the project, Graham Curphey, says the skills learned during the early phases of the project mean the time taken to complete each individual bay is reducing.
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:
Peel bar impacted by bus strikes
Care funding reform report delayed following ministerial change
Charity plans baby loss memorial garden at Noble's Hospital
New rights for neonatal care leave and carer's leave on the way
