Say Farewell to the Jack Up Barge–probably 11th–12th October

The jack-up barge arrived on 18^th September and has been working continuously since then. The precarious slab on the East side of the Ballroom has been successfully demolished without any further damage to the structure.  The Jack Up Barge has now moved to the West side of the Pier where it is being used to re-instate the columns and beams that were destroyed in the February storm.  It is  not now going to be used for the Visitor Centre piles, so it should be finished by the 11^th/12^th October and will then be setting off to its next assignment in Jersey.
