The first shipment of piles have now been released and are at the contractor’s yard in Belfast. They are doing an inventory and quality check.
Meanwhile, the handrails have been moved from John Fairweather’s mill in Sefton and are being dressed (to make them smooth).
Timber shipments from Australia are an ever-evolving feast with the freight companies juggling cargoes; something that’s out of our control. But we do know that more piles are on the way and due to land in the next week.
All going to plan (in terms of timber arrivals), we expect the road down to the jetty to be closed in mid-September (possibly as early as 12 September) and site set up to start.
We are soooo close and can’t wait for work to start on-site (there’s work aplenty going on off-site). In anticipation, current and past trustees went down to the jetty last weekend to toast the impending action on the jetty rebuild.
