The restoration of the Queen's Pier has always been a community project.
That's according to Captain Stuart McKenzie MBE, President of the Restoration Trust.
The charity was established in 2016, and has been working to restore the site since then, currently working on its second phase.
He says that without the public, there wouldn't be any works happening at all:
Douglas fire festival cancelled
Patrick commissioners' mission statement almost ready
Douglas to mark its first Oie Houney fire festival
New chief minister "first among equals"
Online passport applications to be cheaper than paper forms
Two runaways on tram line since last January, says Manx Electric Railway
