WEST HOE PIER DAMAGE COULD COST EXTRA £200K
DAMAGE to the Grade II listed West Hoe Pier in Plymouth caused by the recent storms could put an extra £200,000 on the repair bill, Plymouth City Council has confirmed.
Experts are assessing new damage to the seaside pier after Storm Ingrid battered the city last Friday, along with damage to Tinside Bay and the Council House, in Armada Way, where the authority holds its meetings.
West Hoe Pier had been undergoing works to strengthen it, including filling the interior with concrete and stone.
At a council meeting on Monday, Cllr Chis Penberthy (Labour, St Peter and the Waterfront), cabinet member for housing, cooperative development and communities, said timing the works was difficult as weather events were becoming "increasingly more frequent and of greater intensity."
