Pier Repairs
The pier needs nearly £800,000 of repairs in the next few years – including some urgent works to repair the damage caused by the storm surge of autumn 2007.
North Norfolk District Council has backed plans to spend £121,000 to put right the damage to the pier. The council said it would cost another £666,000 to totally refurbish the structure.
Urgent repairs will be carried out as soon as possible to allow the pier to be fully open for the 2008 main holiday season.
A £1.2 million repair scheme began in May, 2012. Work is scheduled to last 68 weeks. Repairs include replacement metal main trusses and cross braces.

Famous quotes containing the word pier:
“Duccio came not by usura
nor Pier della Francesca; Zuan Bellin’ not by usura
nor was ‘La Calunnia’ painted.
Came not by usura Angelico; came not Ambrogio Praedis,
Came no church of cut stone signed: Adamo me fecit.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
