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:

£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
