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:
Lack of TT trade 'to blame' for retail company closure
Southern section of Mountain Road to reopen for the weekend
Resident opinions wanted on social housing consultation
Liverpool sailing cancelled
IOM Government welcomes temporary ceasefire in the Middle East
