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:
Investigation underway into fire station blaze
Thompson 'confident' in MGP/Classic TT adaptability
Island on 'right track' to retaining biosphere status
Nominations open for Douglas Council's Community Award scheme
