The Pier’s Progress

The second phase of the work on the pier is now well under way. All the
granite quoins that had been washed off have been recovered and
collected in to the old crazy golf site. Here they are being drilled
prior to being fitted into place in their original positions on the end
of the pier. The quoins are of varying sizes each one weighing between
1½ to 2 tons.

The work is due to be completed about the first week of April. The job
is on time and on budget. Symons Construction of St Ives has carried out
the work and Kerrier District Council officers Martin Ackerly and Steven
Woods have overseen the project.
