Investigation into the role of renewable energy in any future re-development of the pier

Restoration and rebuild of carriage 2. This is the third carriage to be restored and the first “driving” carriage.

Long term survey of parts of the pier to check if there is any slow subsidence. No movement has been detected so far.

Inspection of the pier, pier buildings and workshop to report on the presence of asbestos, so that it can be removed by later projects. No asbestos was found in publically accessible areas.
