MHK to ask if costly Queen's Pier work is a priority

Workmen started on the stabilisation of the pier last weekend, the purpose of the work is to stop any further deterioration.

Work has begun this week to stabilise the Queen’s Pier in Ramsey.

Workmen started on the stabilisation of the pier last weekend, the purpose of the work is to stop any further deterioration.

The decision to spend £1.7 million of taxpayer’s money on the scheme has been met with mixed responses.

Some consider it an unnecessary expenditure given the current economic climate, whereas others think it’s positive as it ensures the future of the much-loved Manx landmark.

In next weeks sitting of Tynwald MHK David Cannan will be asking Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne whether it’s a priority that his Department continue on with the works.
