Permission sought for 'intrusive' work on pier
BBCPlans for "intrusive" investigations to find out the extent of damage to a listed pier in Jersey have been submitted.
Ports of Jersey asked the Government of Jersey for permission to dismantle parts of Gorey Pier in St Martin to help develop a repair plan.
A recent report showed parts of the historic pier were cracked due to a combination of age and the effects of Storm Ciarán in November 2023.
The plans include replacing the concrete landing deck, reinforcing the western wall, repairing a stress crack in the pier road and demolishing the terminal building.
A Ports of Jersey spokesperson said: "The first stage in better understanding the work required to the pier is a series of intrusive ground investigations, which are proposed for the entire length of the structure."
