JonC Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The pier which is a favourite spot for many people across the south east has taken a kicking this week. Not sure if it will be closed completely to anglers in the future. Geoff and Saintly Fish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 That’s a shame. Normally local authorities will look for any reason to close something so they don’t have to repair, maintain and be responsible for it. JonC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I have been involved in marine construction and the costs are massive. A few years ago I tendered for work in the lighthouses at Dover harbour. A safety boat alone was £6-700 a day before you even start. My favourite sure mark used to be the Dover southern breakwater, that was regularly closed for storm damage and has been shut for a fair few years now and will never open to anglers again.
